1. Drafting is considered as the universal language of?
A. Artistry
B. Humanity
C. Industry
D. Pottery
The answer for this item is C -- Drafting is considered as the universal language of industry.
Of course, you can immediately cross out letter D. Pottery does not make use of drafting. On the other hand, the other two choices -- artistry and humanity -- are very broad ideas; even drafting and pottery are under them. Drafting is known to be the universal language of industry because it is a form of communication that is very technical and very exact. It drives economic activities in all phases of the society.
TEST-TAKING SKILL: Immediately cross out very broad ideas.
2. If a drawing is generally made without the aid of any instrument, it is classified as _.
A. An orthographic drawing
B. An isometric drawing
C. A freehand drawing
D. An axonometric drawing
The answer for this item is letter C -- A freehand drawing.
Freehand drawing refers to the method of drawing in which the artist completes the piece without the help of any instrument.
Letter A -- orthographic drawing -- cannot be the answer since it refers to the phenomena of projecting three-dimensional images in a two-dimensional medium. Isometric drawing is related to orthographic drawing in that it also is the projection of three-dimensional objects in a two-dimensional plane. However, the only difference between the two is that orthographic drawing is art in itself while isometric drawing is a method of clarification using labels (for planning, etc.). Finally, axonometric drawing is a three-dimensional projection used to create a pictorial drawing of an object, where the object is rotated along one or more of its axes relative to the plane of projection.
3. The solidity of this object is shown by gradual darkening of its particular portions. What process was used?
A. Darkening
B. Shading
C. Shadowing
D. Lighting
The question already contains a clue that the answer is letter A -- Darkening.
Darkening is the method of showing an object's solidity by the use of gradual strokes that darken its portions. Shading, on the other hand, is the technique of showing the object's depth by darkening the portions around it. Lighting and shadowing are by-products of darkening and shading.
4. One of the best practices of good draftsman is never to letter without what?
A. Guidelines
B. Pencil
C. Lettering pens
D. Ink
The answer is obviously letter A -- Guidelines.
One can still letter with the use of B, C and D. Also, there's nothing wrong about not using any of them because there are alternatives to serve the same purpose. However, there is no other alternative, in manual lettering, for accuracy, than guidelines.
5. The lightest or the finest line that represents the axis or center of objects with symmetrical shapes is know as what?
A. EXTENSION LINE
B. CENTER LINE
C. VISIBLE LINE
D. CUTTING PLANE LINE
The answer for this item is letter B -- Center line.
The clue in the question is the word "symmetrical." In a symmetry, the center separates the two parts of an object in congruent halves.
To have letter C as an answer is vague since visible lines are the heaviest and the most obvious lines in a draft.
