Question 1730 Deck General
70% to passWhich line is two-stranded, left-handed small stuff?
A
Lagline
B
Marline
C
Ratline
D
Houseline
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Marline. Marline is a two-stranded, left-handed small stuff, which is a type of cordage used for various purposes on ships, including seizings, lashings, and whipping. The left-handed twist of marline distinguishes it from other small stuff like ratline, which is right-handed. The other answer choices are incorrect because lagline and houseline are not two-stranded, small stuff, and ratline is right-handed rather than left-handed.
