🔍 Key Concepts

• Wire rope construction – wires, strands, and core • Lay of wire rope in basic rigging terminology • Difference between direction of twist and number of strands/material

💭 Think About

• Which part of the wire rope does the term “lay” actually describe: shape, direction, amount, or material? • Look at each choice and ask: does this sound like something about how pieces are TWISTED together, or about something else (like count or material)? • Between wires, strands, and core, which combination is usually mentioned together when describing "lay" in rigging manuals?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the difference between wire, strand, and core in a wire rope • Identify which option talks specifically about how components are twisted rather than what they are made of or how many there are • Eliminate any choice that focuses only on material or quantity instead of twist direction/arrangement
