Question 2137 Deck General

The correct answer is A) that part of the falls made fast to one of the blocks. The standing part of a tackle refers to the stationary part of the tackle, which is the part of the rope or fall that is secured to one of the blocks. This is in contrast to the hauling or running part, which is the part of the rope or fall that is pulled to apply force and move the load. The other options are incorrect because: B) refers to the entire fall except the hauling part, C) refers to the part where power is applied, and D) refers to the hook that engages the weight, none of which accurately describe the standing part of the tackle.
