🔍 Key Concepts

• Basic seamanship terminology related to rigging and lifting gear • Parts of a block and tackle system • Difference between tools, loads, and lines used on board

💭 Think About

• Look at which choice describes a mechanical part rather than cargo, a tool, or a line • Think about what is found inside a block that allows a line to move easily • Ask yourself: which option would logically have a groove for a rope or wire to run in?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option describes something that would rotate as part of a lifting or hoisting system • Eliminate any answers that are clearly about cargo, personal tools, or mooring/boat handling lines • Confirm that the remaining choice fits into the assembly of a block and tackle used for hoisting loads
