Which method binds two objects by wrapping rope around them many times?

• A. Plaiting
• B. Splice efficiency
• C. Trucker's hitch
• D. Lashing

Answer: (D)

Lashing is the technique used to bind two objects together by wrapping rope around them many times. The wraps grip and compress the items, creating a stable joint that holds under load. With different lashings, you can keep the objects aligned and secure, which is why this method is standard for tying together poles or spars in rigging. Plaiting involves weaving strands and isn’t specifically the method for creating a rigid joint between two objects. Splicing joins rope ends to extend length, not bind two objects. The trucker’s hitch is a tensioning method used to tighten a bound assembly, not the binding itself. So the described method fits lashings.
