🔍 Key Concepts

• Bend vs. hitch vs. loop – what each type of knot is used for • Common knot used specifically to join two lines of unequal size • Typical use of a bowline compared with knots used to connect two ropes

💭 Think About

• First, sort the choices into categories: which ones are bends, which are hitches, and which form a fixed loop? • Ask yourself: which knot is traditionally taught for joining a small line to a larger line so they won’t slip apart under load? • Think about where you’ve seen each of these knots used on board: securing to a post, making a loop in the end of a line, or connecting two lines together.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option is technically a bend (used for joining two lines), not a hitch or loop. • Check which knot works especially well when the two lines are of different diameters. • Eliminate any knot that’s mainly for tying a line to an object (like a rail or post) rather than to another line.
