Q

Which is a characteristic of stuffer-braid rope?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Differences between twisted (laid) rope and braided rope construction • How hollow-braid rope differs from stuffer-braid rope • What is meant by a core or yarn core in rope construction

💭 Think About

• First, decide which choices clearly describe twisted/laid rope rather than braided rope and set those aside. • Think about the word “stuffer”: what does that suggest about what’s inside the braid of the rope? • Compare in your mind a hollow braid (nothing in the middle) with a braid that has something placed in its center. Which description fits that second type?

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any option that obviously describes three-strand laid rope, not braided rope. • Ask yourself whether a stuffer-braid rope would likely have something in the middle or nothing in the middle of the braid. • Confirm which option, if any, specifically refers to a core made of yarn or fibers inside the braided cover.
