🔍 Key Concepts

• Look closely at how knot M forms its loops and where they are located on the line (at the end or in the bight/middle). • Think about what kind of job would need two secure openings that can take a person’s weight versus just securing or joining lines. • Compare knot M to the other knots in the plate that clearly show a single eye at the end or two separate lines joined together.

💭 Think About

• Does knot M create one eye in the end of the line, or a pair of loops somewhere away from the ends? How does that affect its use? • If you needed a knot to safely support a person over the side, what features would you want to see in the illustration of that knot? • Which of the answer choices clearly involves two different lines instead of just one line doubled back on itself?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether knot M uses one line doubled on itself rather than two separate hawsers. • Check if knot M shows two side‑by‑side loops that could distribute weight, rather than a single eye or a simple bend. • Before choosing, match each answer option to the general type of knot: eye knot, bend (joining two lines), or hitch (attaching one line to another or to an object).
