🔍 Key Concepts

• Small stuff (small-diameter line) used for securing or seizing objects • Common deck terms for lines used to hold something in place vs. lines used to form a loop or temporarily check a line • How different fittings/lines (keeper, noose, lanyard, stopper) are typically used on board

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Which of these terms is most commonly used for a short piece of small line that stays attached and keeps an object from being lost? • Think about where you’ve heard each term used: which one is used with tools, shackle pins, knife lanyards, whistles, or safety gear? • Which of these terms describes more of a function (preventing something from going adrift) rather than just a shape (like a loop) or a separate fitting?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you know that "small stuff" means small-diameter cordage, not wire or chain • Confirm which choice is normally left attached to the object, not just used temporarily and then removed • Eliminate any choice that mainly describes a knot shape or a temporary brake on a working line, rather than a permanent short line secured to the object
