Question 2028 Deck General
70% to passAs you hold a piece of manila line vertically in front of you, the strands run from the lower right to the upper left. Which type of line is this?
A
Water-laid
B
Plain-laid
C
Left-hand laid
D
Shroud-laid
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Left-hand laid. When holding a piece of manila line vertically in front of you and the strands run from the lower right to the upper left, this indicates the line is left-hand laid. This means the strands of the line are twisted in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from the end of the line. The other options are incorrect because water-laid line has strands twisted in a clockwise direction, plain-laid line has strands running parallel, and shroud-laid line has a central core surrounded by twisted strands.
