🔍 Key Concepts

• Right-laid vs left-laid line and how the strands are twisted • What happens to line if you coil it with the lay versus against the lay • Traditional phrase "with the sun" or "against the sun" when coiling line

💭 Think About

• Look at how a right-laid line’s strands are twisted when viewed from one end: which direction do they spiral? • If you coil a line in the same direction as its lay, does it form kinks and hockles, or does it lie smooth? • Match the idea of coiling with the lay to the choices that mention direction or the sun.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which way a right-laid line’s strands slope (up to the right or up to the left). • Decide which coiling direction will tighten and smooth the lay instead of loosening it. • Match the phrase "with the sun" vs "against the sun" to clockwise vs counterclockwise on a standard diagram or clock face.
