🔍 Key Concepts

• Direction of lay of rope strands (right-hand vs left-hand) • How to visualize the strands when the rope is held vertically in front of you • Difference between type of lay (right/left) and construction styles (e.g., cable-laid, sennet-laid)

💭 Think About

• When you hold the line vertical, what does it mean if the strands appear to run from lower left to upper right? Think of drawing a diagonal line on a page from left bottom corner to right top corner. • Which of the answer choices describe the direction the strands are twisted, and which describe how many ropes or how they are combined? Separate these ideas first. • If you reversed the rope (turned it upside down), would the strands still appear to run the same way? What does that tell you about the direction of lay?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options refer to direction of twist (right vs left) rather than overall rope construction. • Recall that cable-laid refers to several smaller ropes laid together into one larger rope, not just the strand direction. • Make sure you picture the rope exactly as described: held vertically, with strands going from the lower left to upper right before deciding which direction that represents.
