Lifting the anchor from the bottom is called _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) weighing the anchor.
Lifting the anchor from the bottom is known as "weighing the anchor" in nautical terminology. This refers to the process of pulling up or hoisting the anchor from the seafloor in order to relocate the vessel. The term "weighing the anchor" is commonly used in the context of Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations to describe this specific maneuver.
The other answer choices are incorrect. "Shifting the anchor" refers to adjusting the position of the anchor without fully lifting it, "broaching the anchor" is not a recognized term, and "walking the anchor" would generally mean manually moving the anchor by hand along the seafloor, rather than lifting it.
