Which splice is used to connect two separate lines together?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option D — Long splice
The long splice is the standard method for permanently joining two lines of equal size while maintaining the original diameter of the rope. This allows the joined section to pass through blocks or sheaves, which is critical for running rigging applications where a short splice would be too bulky.
