🔍 Key Concepts

• Chafing happens where the line rubs against a rough surface like rocks, coral, or the seabed • How chain behaves on the bottom compared to fiber (nylon, polypropylene, etc.) • What a scope ratio changes (angle of pull) versus what actually rubs on the bottom

💭 Think About

• Which material is more resistant to abrasion against rocks and sand: fiber rope or metal chain? • Does changing the scope ratio actually remove the section of line from the bottom, or mainly change the angle of pull on the anchor? • What is a hockle in a line, and is it something you normally want or try to avoid?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option directly adds abrasion‑resistant material where the line touches the bottom • Eliminate any option that involves something usually considered damage or a defect in a line • Confirm whether scope ratio affects chafe protection or just holding power and anchor angle
