🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between a type of tackle and a condition of tackle (when the blocks are together) • What makes something a general-purpose small tackle versus a specific block configuration (like two-sheave or three-sheave) • Typical use and construction of a snatch block compared to complete tackle rigs

💭 Think About

• Which option describes a complete small tackle rig used for many odd jobs, not just a single block or a special condition? • Look for the choice that would normally include two blocks and a line and is meant to be moved around the ship for light work. • Ask yourself: which term would you use when you call for a small handy rig to get a little extra purchase on a line?

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any term that describes how many sheaves are in the blocks rather than the general name of the tackle. • Eliminate any term that describes the tackle being pulled all the way tight (blocks touching). • Check which term is commonly defined as a portable, light tackle consisting of small blocks used for miscellaneous jobs.
