Question 1730Deck General70% to pass
Which line is two-stranded, left-handed small stuff?
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.
