1On a standard drawing board setup, the T-square is primarily used to:
A.Draw freehand free curves without guides
B.Provide a straight horizontal guide edge and support for set squares
C.Measure circular diameters only
D.Cut paper to sheet size
Explanation: The T-square stock rides along the board edge so the blade gives a true horizontal guide. Set squares rest on that blade to draw vertical and angled lines. It is not a curve tool, diameter gauge, or paper cutter.
2A set square used against a T-square is most useful for drawing:
A.Only freehand lettering guidelines of any shape
B.Only irregular free curves
C.Vertical lines and standard inclined lines such as 30°, 45°, and 60°
D.Only section hatching of any random angle
Explanation: Set squares (30°–60° and 45°) guided on a T-square produce vertical lines and common inclined angles. Irregular curves need French curves; lettering and hatching still follow line standards but are not the set square’s only purpose.
3A compass in engineering drawing is mainly intended to:
A.Draw circles and arcs of a controlled radius
B.Only measure angles in degrees
C.Only transfer lengths without a pencil point
D.Only erase unwanted lines cleanly
Explanation: A compass holds a pencil (or pen) at a fixed distance from a centre point so circles and arcs can be drawn accurately.
4A divider (as distinct from a compass) is best used to:
A.Ink title-block borders only
B.Transfer or step off equal lengths and compare distances without drawing arcs
C.Draw large filled circles in one stroke
D.Measure only the hardness of pencil leads
Explanation: Dividers have two sharp points and no lead; they step off equal segments, transfer lengths, and compare distances on drawings or scales.
5French curves are used mainly to:
A.Draw perfect circles of any radius
B.Letter only capital alphabets
C.Hatch every sectional area automatically
D.Guide smooth irregular curves that are not simple circular arcs
Explanation: French curves are templates with changing curvature for guiding smooth non-circular curves such as transition curves on freehand layouts.
6For light construction lines that can be erased later, a commonly preferred pencil grade is:
A.2B or softer only, pressed hard
B.2H or harder grades used lightly
C.6B charcoal sticks only
D.Ink pen exclusively for all layout work
Explanation: Harder grades such as 2H produce light, fine construction lines that are easy to keep clean and erase. Soft dark grades smudge and are better for finished outlines if pencil-finished work is used.
7A mini-drafter (drafting machine) is preferred in many classrooms because it can:
A.Replace all freehand sketching practice forever
B.Eliminate the need for scales and dimension rules
C.Provide parallel motion and set angles so separate T-square and set-square setups are often unnecessary
D.Automatically invent missing orthographic views
Explanation: A mini-drafter combines sliding parallel motion with adjustable angular heads, reducing separate T-square/set-square setups. Theory, scales, freehand skill, and projection reasoning still matter.
8A protractor in engineering drawing is primarily used to:
A.Only draw perfect squares
B.Only sharpen pencil points
C.Only erase hatching lines
D.Measure or set angles in degrees
Explanation: Protractors measure and mark angular sizes in degrees. Squares use set squares/T-squares; sharpening and erasing use other tools.
9Drawing paper is usually fastened to the board so that:
A.Only one corner is free to rotate while drawing
B.The paper hangs loosely to allow freehand stretching
C.The sheet is flat, square to the board edges, and does not shift during line work
D.Ink always dries faster regardless of fastening
Explanation: Clips or tape hold the sheet flat and aligned so horizontal and vertical guides remain true. Loose or skewed sheets introduce angular errors.
10An eraser shield is useful because it:
A.Protects surrounding lines while a small area is erased through openings in the shield
B.Replaces the need for any hard pencil grades
C.Automatically redraws erased outlines
D.Measures radius of circles while erasing
Explanation: An eraser shield is a thin plate with slots so only the selected line segment is erased while nearby work is protected.
