A common means of connecting shots of anchor chain in the field is to use a(an) _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) kenter link.
A kenter link is a common means of connecting shots of anchor chain in the field. It is a type of shackle or link that is used to connect the individual lengths of anchor chain together. This allows the anchor chain to be easily deployed and retrieved, as the kenter link allows the chain to flex and move without becoming tangled.
The other answer choices are incorrect because:
A) An end shackle is used to connect the anchor chain to the anchor itself, not to connect shots of chain.
C) A sprocket is a mechanical part used in a chain drive system, not for connecting anchor chain.
D) A swivel is used to prevent the anchor chain from twisting, not to connect the individual shots of chain.
