Question 1733 Deck General
70% to passAs you hold a piece of manila line vertically in front of you, the strands run from the lower left to the upper right. Which type of line is this?
A
Water-laid
B
Sennet-laid
C
Right-hand laid
D
Cable-laid
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Right-hand laid. When holding a piece of line vertically in front of you and the strands run from the lower left to the upper right, this indicates a right-hand laid line. In right-hand laid line, the strands are twisted in a clockwise or right-hand direction as you look at the end of the line. The other options are incorrect because: A) Water-laid line has the strands laid in the opposite direction, from upper left to lower right; B) Sennet-laid line has multiple smaller ropes twisted together, not a single line; and D) Cable-laid line has three right-hand laid ropes twisted together, not a single line.
