Q

Which splice should you use in order to make a permanent loop in a line?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Types of splices and what each is used for • Difference between joining two lines vs forming a loop in one line • When a splice is considered permanent compared to a temporary knot

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: which of these splices creates a fixed loop at the end of a single line rather than connecting two separate lines? • Think about what kind of splice you would find on the end of a mooring line that slips over a bollard or cleat. • Eliminate the choices that are mainly used to either prevent unlaying of a line or to join two lengths of rope together.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is specifically defined as creating a loop at the end of a line. • Confirm which options are primarily used to join two lines together instead of forming a loop. • Verify which splice is often seen on permanent eyes in dock lines, mooring lines, and slings.
