20. What is a "Material Condition Modifier?" 
Answer Provided: 
Correct Answer: d) A symbol (or lack thereof) placed in a feature control frame that indicates how
much, or if, any extra geometric tolerance is available for the feature as the actual mating size of the
feature changes. 
Comments Entered: 
21. A positional tolerance defines: 
a) A zone within which the center, axis, or center plane of a feature of size is permitted to vary
from a true position. 
 b) A boundary located at the true position that may not be violated by the surface or surfaces of
the considered feature, if the position specification is on an MMC or LMC basis.
