🔍 Key Concepts

• Different types of line/rope treatments used on hooks and standing rigging • Purpose of securing a hook so that a shackle, ring, or sling cannot jump out • Traditional seamanship terms for coiling lines vs. protecting or securing them

💭 Think About

• Which option describes something specifically done on or around a hook to keep gear from slipping out? • Which options refer instead to protecting rope, or to how a line is laid out or coiled on deck? • Think about cargo gear or lifting operations: what simple safety step is taken to keep a hook from accidentally coming unhooked?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which term is associated with hooks, shackles, and slings rather than deck layout • Eliminate any terms that describe coiling or arranging line on deck • Eliminate any term that refers to serving/protecting a rope rather than securing a hook opening
