What term describes threading a rope through an opening or around a sheave?

• A. Mechanical Advantage
• B. Snatch Block
• C. Reeving
• D. Pulley

Answer: (C)

Reeving is the action of threading a rope through an opening or around a sheave to route it through a pulley system. This is the operation you perform when you pass the line through blocks and pulleys to create a desired path, direction change, or mechanical advantage. The other terms describe either what the system accomplishes (mechanical advantage), a specific device used in the setup (snatch block), or the component itself (pulley) rather than the act of threading the rope through the pulleys.
