🔍 Key Concepts

• Construction of rope/line: fibers → yarns → strands → line • Direction of twist at each stage (fibers into yarns, yarns into strands, strands into line) • Terms: with the lay vs against the lay

💭 Think About

• Think through the manufacturing sequence: First fibers are twisted into yarns, then yarns into strands, then strands into line. At which stages is the twist direction intentionally reversed? • Why would rope makers alternate twist directions between stages (for example, to prevent kinking and to keep the line from unlaying under load)? • Look at each choice and ask: is it talking about the relationship between yarns and fibers, or fibers and line, or fibers and strands? Which one correctly describes how yarns are formed?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear what the question is about: it is specifically asking about yarns (not strands, not the finished line). • Match the stage: fibers → yarns. Ignore any answer that focuses on the wrong comparison (e.g., fibers vs line, or fibers vs cables) • Confirm which direction gives a balanced rope: the twist at one stage is usually in the opposite direction to the next stage to prevent untwisting.
