Which type of rope is a rope inside of a rope?

  1. Scabbard

  2. Drop cut

  3. Double-braid

  4. Rigging

The correct answer is: Double-braid

A double-braid rope is a rope that consists of two ropes, an inner core and an outer cover, intertwined together. The inner rope is responsible for providing the strength while the outer cover protects against wear and tear. This unique construction makes it ideal for scenarios that require both strength and durability. Therefore, a double-braid rope is a rope inside of a rope, making it the correct answer. Options A (scabbard), B (drop cut), and D (rigging) do not accurately describe this type of rope and are not the correct answer.
