🔍 Key Concepts

• bends are knots used to join two lines together • some bends are better for lines of unequal diameter than others • a sheepshank is not used to join two separate lines

💭 Think About

• First, decide which of the choices are actually bends (used to join two ropes) and which are for a different purpose. • Among the bend knots listed, think about which one is recommended when the two lines are not the same size. • Recall what a square knot is normally used for and whether it is considered safe and secure for joining ropes of different diameters under strain.

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any choice that is not a bend used to join two separate lines. • From the remaining bend knots, identify which one is specifically noted in seamanship texts as suitable for different-sized lines. • Verify that the knot you select is known for being more secure than a simple square knot when under load.
