    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    A common method of representing three-dimensional objects, usually by three two-dimensional drawings in each of which the object is viewed along parallel lines that are perpendicular to the plane of the drawing. 

    • Orthographic

    • Isometric

    • Oblique

    • Multiview

    Correct Answer
    A. Orthographic
    Explanation
    Orthographic is the correct answer because it refers to a common method of representing three-dimensional objects using two-dimensional drawings. In orthographic projection, the object is viewed along parallel lines that are perpendicular to the plane of the drawing. This method allows for clear and accurate representation of the object from multiple angles, providing a comprehensive view of its shape and dimensions.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    A method for visually representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions in technical and engineering drawings.

    • Orthographic

    • Isometric

    • Oblique

    • Perspective

    Correct Answer
    A. Isometric
    Explanation
    Isometric is the correct answer because it is a method for visually representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions in technical and engineering drawings. Isometric drawings show the object from a specific angle, where all three dimensions (length, width, and height) are equally foreshortened. This allows for a clear representation of the object's shape and proportions. Unlike perspective drawings, which create a sense of depth and distance, isometric drawings maintain a consistent scale and do not show depth.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    A projective drawing of which the frontal lines are given in true proportions and relations and all others at suitable angles other than 90 degrees without regard to the rules of linear perspective.

    • Isometric

    • Orthographic

    • Oblique

    • Auxiliary

    Correct Answer
    A. Oblique
    Explanation
    An oblique drawing is a projective drawing where the frontal lines are shown in true proportions and relations, while all other lines are shown at suitable angles other than 90 degrees. Unlike orthographic drawings, which adhere to the rules of linear perspective, oblique drawings allow for a more artistic and creative representation of the object or space being depicted. This type of drawing is commonly used in architecture and design to showcase the overall form and proportions of a structure or object.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    It refers to shape & space between letters and words.

    • Legibility

    • Unity

    • Uniformity

    • Creativity

    Correct Answer
    A. Legibility
    Explanation
    Legibility refers to the clarity and readability of text. It encompasses factors such as the shape and spacing between letters and words, which directly impact how easily the text can be understood. In this context, legibility is the most appropriate term to describe the concept of shape and space between letters and words. Unity, uniformity, and creativity do not specifically address this aspect of text readability.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    A minimum recommended space between letters in words is approximate.

    • 1/16

    • 1/8

    • 1/4

    • 1/2

    Correct Answer
    A. 1/16
    Explanation
    A minimum recommended space between letters in words is approximate. This means that there should be a small gap between each letter in a word. The correct answer of 1/16 suggests that the recommended space between letters should be approximately 1/16th of the width of a letter. This allows for legibility and readability of the text.
