Which term refers to the end of the rope used to make all of the bends to tie the knot?

• A. Running End
• B. The End Of The Rope Used To Make All Of The Bends To Tie The Knot
• C. The Middle Of The Rope Between The Working End And The Running End
• D. The Securement Of Any Loose Ends

Answer: (B)

The key idea is identifying the end of the rope that you actively use to shape the knot by making all the bends. That end is the one you guide through loops and twists to form the knot. The option that literally describes this end as “The End Of The Rope Used To Make All Of The Bends To Tie The Knot” matches the function precisely, so it’s the best choice. The other ideas point to other parts or roles of the rope (the middle, or securing loose ends) which aren’t involved in forming the knot’s bends.
