Question 2182Deck General70% to pass
Serving is _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) marline tightly wound on the rope by means of a board or mallet.
Serving is the process of tightly wrapping marline (a thin, two-stranded cordage) around a rope to provide additional protection, grip, or reinforcement. This is typically done using a serving board or mallet to ensure the marline is wrapped tightly and evenly around the rope.
The other options are incorrect because: A) describes the process of worming, not serving; B) describes parceling, which is a different rope protection technique; and D) describes splicing, which is a method of joining two ropes together, not a form of serving.
