1Which instrument is primarily used to draw parallel lines at a chosen angle on a drawing board?
A.Set square used with a T-square
B.Only a protractor alone
C.Only a French curve alone
D.Only an eraser shield
Explanation: A set square guided along a T-square edge draws parallel lines at standard angles (commonly 30°, 45°, 60°). Protractors measure angles; French curves guide irregular curves; eraser shields protect surrounding lines while erasing.
2The T-square is mainly used on a drawing board to:
A.Provide a straight horizontal guide edge for drawing and for guiding set squares
B.Only measure diameters of circles
C.Only cut drawing paper to size
D.Only store ink bottles
Explanation: The T-square’s stock rides along the board edge so its blade gives a true horizontal guide. Set squares rest on that blade for vertical and angled lines.
3A compass used in engineering drawing is primarily intended to:
A.Only draw freehand ellipses without setup
B.Only ink title blocks exclusively
C.Draw circles and arcs of controlled radius
D.Only measure text height
Explanation: Compasses hold a pencil (or ink) point at a fixed radius from a centre point to draw circles and arcs accurately.
4Mini-drafter (drafting machine) instruments are preferred in many classrooms because they can:
A.Eliminate the need for any scale or dimensioning
B.Automatically invent missing orthographic views
C.Replace all freehand sketching practice
D.Replace separate T-square and set-square setups for drawing parallel and perpendicular lines at set angles
Explanation: A mini-drafter combines sliding parallel motion with adjustable angular heads for parallel/perpendicular lines at set angles. Scales, dimensioning judgment, orthographic reasoning, and freehand skill still matter.
5French curves are used in engineering drawing mainly to:
A.Only draw perfect circles of any radius
B.Only letter capital alphabets
C.Only hatch sectional areas at 45°
D.Draw smooth irregular curves that are not circular arcs
Explanation: French curves are templates with varying curvature for guiding smooth non-circular curves. Circles use compasses; lettering uses guides; hatching uses thin parallel lines.
6When inking a finished pencil drawing, a common recommended practice is to:
A.Erase all construction lines before any check of dimensions
B.Ink only construction lines and leave outlines in soft pencil
C.Use the darkest soft pencil instead of ink for archive prints
D.Ink permanent outlines carefully after checking the pencil layout, protecting completed lines from smudging
Explanation: Standard practice lays out in light pencil, checks geometry and dimensions, then inks permanent outlines carefully to reduce smudging.
7A divider (as distinct from a compass) is most useful for:
A.Transferring or stepping off equal lengths and comparing distances without drawing arcs
B.Only drawing large circles in ink
C.Only measuring angles in degrees
D.Only sharpening pencil leads
Explanation: Dividers have two sharp points and no pencil lead; they transfer lengths, step off equal segments, and compare distances.
8In standard engineering drawing line conventions, continuous thick (wide) lines are mainly used for:
A.Visible outlines and visible edges of objects
B.Only centre lines of holes
C.Only dimension and extension lines
D.Only hidden edges
Explanation: Continuous thick lines represent visible object outlines and edges. Centre lines are thin chain lines; dimension lines are continuous thin; hidden edges use dashed lines.
9Dashed (broken) lines in orthographic drawings commonly represent:
A.Only title-block borders
B.Hidden edges and hidden outlines not visible from that viewing direction
C.Only cutting-plane paths
D.Only section hatching
Explanation: Dashed lines show edges that exist but are not visible in the chosen view.
10Centre lines of circles, cylinders, and axes of symmetry are normally drawn as:
A.Thin long-dash short-dash (chain) lines
B.Continuous thick outlines only
C.Wavy freehand break lines only
D.Double thick solid borders only
Explanation: Centre lines and axes use thin chain lines (long dash, short dash).
