Question 2049 Deck General

The correct answer is D) opposite direction from which the fibers are twisted together to form strands. The key to understanding this is the concept of how rope or line is manufactured. Fibers are first twisted together in one direction to form strands. Then, these strands are twisted together in the opposite direction to form the finished line or rope. This opposite twist direction helps provide the line with additional strength and stability. The other answer choices do not accurately describe this standard manufacturing process for rope and line.
