🔍 Key Concepts

• Review what a French bowline looks like: it is a variation of the bowline that forms two separate loops which can be used to support a person (like a bosun’s chair). • Compare the knots in choices L, T, Q, and W to see which one clearly shows two adjustable loops rather than a single loop or a bend (joining two ropes). • Recall that a standard bowline has one fixed loop and a characteristic "rabbit comes out of the hole" pattern; the French bowline will still resemble a bowline at the knot but will divide into two bights/loops.

💭 Think About

• Which of the four letters shows a knot that could comfortably support a person with one loop for each leg? • Which option is not just joining two ropes together (a bend) or forming a single loop around an object, but instead clearly shows two loops made from one line? • Look closely at the standing part and working end: in which drawing do they enter the knot in the same general way as a bowline, but the part beyond the knot splits into two separate loops?

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any drawing that is clearly a bend (two separate ends joined together) rather than a loop knot. • Eliminate any drawing that forms only one loop or is obviously a running bowline or other single‑loop variant. • Confirm that the remaining choice shows a bowline‑style knot with two distinct loops/bights that could act like a makeshift bosun’s chair.
