you are about to answer and decide which choice is best.

4. On your answer sheet, find the number which corresponds to your item and shade the space
having the same letter as the answer you have chosen. Look at the sample item below.

Sample Item

In drawings, thin short dashes represent Sample Answer

(A)
(B)
adjacent parts
hidden details
@e©®
(C) movable parts
(D) irregular details

The best answer to this item is "hidden details", so answer space (B) has been shaded.

5. If you want to change your answer, erase it completely before you fill in your new choice.

6. When you are told to begin, turn the page and work as quickly and as carefully as you can.
