Which is a method used to make an eye in a bight of line where it cannot be spliced?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — seizing
Seizing is the standard seamanship method for binding two parts of a line together using smaller cordage. When an eye must be formed in a bight where splicing is impractical or impossible due to the line's construction or current state, a properly executed seizing provides the necessary structural integrity.
