Question: 110

9. Mooring ropes are

  • A. ten inches in diameter.
  • B. twenty-one inches in circumference.
  • C. six times thicker than heaving ropes.
  • D. nine inches in circumference.

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

The correct answer is (D). In lines 6-8 we learn that the ship is secured by nine-inch or ten-inch mooring lines. Since rope is measured by circumference rather than by diameter (lines 13-14), choice (D) is the correct answer.
