Question 2157 Deck General

70% to pass

Temporary seizings on wire rope are made with _______________.

A marline
B sail twine
C wire
D tape
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) wire. Temporary seizings on wire rope are made with wire, not marline, sail twine, or tape. This is because wire rope requires a more secure and durable seizing material to prevent the individual strands from separating or becoming damaged. Marline, sail twine, and tape would not provide the necessary strength and durability to effectively secure wire rope. Using wire ensures a strong, reliable seizing that can withstand the tension and stresses placed on wire rope during use.
