Which term denotes a full wrap around an object, i.e., a complete turn?

• A. Loop
• B. Working End
• C. Standing Part
• D. Round Turn

Answer: (D)

A round turn is the term for a wrap that encircles the object completely. It means the rope goes all the way around the object once and comes back alongside the rope, forming a full circle around it. This is different from a loop, which is simply a bend in the rope that doesn’t necessarily wrap around the object, and from the working end (the active end) or the standing part (the long, inactive part of the rope). So the full wrap around an object is described as a round turn.
