Q

Which splice is used to connect two separate lines together?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Different purposes of common splices: eye splice, back splice, long splice • How each splice changes or preserves the end or length of a line • Which splice is specifically meant to join two separate lines

💭 Think About

• For each splice named in the choices, ask yourself: Is this used at the end of one line, or does it join two lines together? • Think about which splice is often used to make an eye for attaching to a shackle or hook, and which one is used to prevent the end from unlaying. • Consider which splice is commonly used in rigging or tow lines when you want to keep nearly the same line diameter and length while connecting two pieces.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options are mainly used to finish the end of a single line. • Identify which option is mainly used to form a permanent loop (eye) in the end of a line. • From what remains, decide which splice is designed to connect two separate lengths of line into one continuous line.
