Question 1747 Deck General
70% to passStuffer-braid rope has _______________.
A
no core
B
a yarn core
C
12 threads
D
three strands
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) a yarn core. Stuffer-braid rope, also known as solid-braid rope, has a yarn core that provides the internal structure and strength of the rope. The yarn core is surrounded by the outer braid, which is made up of multiple strands of rope material (typically nylon or polyester). This construction gives stuffer-braid rope its characteristic solid, uniform appearance compared to other rope types that have a distinct core and sheath. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) stuffer-braid rope does have an internal core, B) it has a yarn core rather than 12 threads or three strands.
