🔍 Key Concepts

• Compare how two separate rope ends are joined together in knot W. • Recall that a square knot (reef knot) is used to tie two lines of equal size together and lies flat when dressed properly. • A clove hitch, stopper knot, and barrel hitch each have very different purposes (around an object, to stop fraying or slipping, or to lift a barrel).

💭 Think About

• Is knot W securing a line around an object, or is it joining two free ends of line together? • Look closely at the path of each working end: do the ends come out on the same side and opposite directions, forming a flat, symmetrical knot, or do they form a hitch or bulky stopper? • Which of the listed knots is commonly used to tie two lines together rather than to fasten a line to a spar, post, or object?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether there is no object inside the knot in W (just two rope ends). • Check if the knot in W looks flat and symmetrical, not bulky like a stopper or wrapped like a hitch. • Confirm which option in the list is specifically used to join two ends of a line together.
