Question

Ropes made from _________ are typically very weak.

Answer 1

Sisal, cotton, jute and manila

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of the natural fibers, the rope is soft and pliable but this results in very low strength and makes the rope susceptible to damage by abrasion (the natural composition is not adapted to being altered). Most ropes are made with plastic-based materials (ex. nylon, polypropylene) for durability.

Answer 2

Sisal

Step-by-step explanation:

Sisal is another natural fiber that comes from plants. It is a very weak fiber that has less strength than cotton.
