1In a school workshop, the first safety step before using any hand tool is to:
A.Check the tool for damage and use it only for its intended purpose
B.Hit stuck parts with maximum force
C.Remove all guards permanently
D.Work alone without supervision when unsure
Explanation: Safe workshop practice starts with inspecting tools, using them correctly, and stopping if something is damaged or wrong for the job.
2A try square is mainly used to:
A.Measure electric current
B.Check or mark right angles on wood or metal work
C.Tighten bolts only
D.Water plants in a nursery
Explanation: A try square checks and marks 90° angles during layout and assembly work.
3Which tool is best for driving nails into wood?
A.Screwdriver
B.Claw hammer
C.Hacksaw
D.Spirit level
Explanation: A claw hammer drives nails with the face and can remove them with the claw.
4Mild steel is commonly used in school workshop practice because it is:
A.Completely non-magnetic and never rusts
B.Relatively easy to cut, file, and join compared with many harder alloys
C.Always as soft as pure gold
D.A ceramic material
Explanation: Mild steel is a common engineering material for training because it can be cut, shaped, drilled, and joined with basic workshop methods.
5When filing metal, the correct technique is to:
A.Apply pressure only on the return stroke
B.Apply controlled pressure mainly on the forward cutting stroke and lift or lighten on the return
C.Hold the work loose in the hand only
D.Use oil on every file always, even for soft wood
Explanation: Files cut on the forward stroke; the work should be held firmly (often in a vice) and return strokes should not force the file hard into the work.
6A hacksaw is primarily used to:
A.Cut metal bars, tubes, and similar materials
B.Measure humidity
C.Mix compost
D.Test soil pH
Explanation: A hacksaw uses a fine-toothed blade to cut metals and some hard materials in the workshop.
7Why should the teeth of a hacksaw blade point away from the handle (forward)?
A.So the blade cuts on the forward stroke when pressure is applied
B.So it only cuts on the return stroke
C.Because blades never have a direction
D.To measure length more accurately
Explanation: Correct blade orientation lets the teeth cut on the push stroke, matching how a hacksaw is designed to work.
8Soldering joins metal parts by:
A.Melting a lower-melting-point filler metal (solder) to bond surfaces without fully melting the base metals
B.Only hammering cold metal plates together
C.Gluing with wood adhesive only
D.Using pure water as the joining material
Explanation: Soft soldering uses molten solder and flux to form a joint while the parent metals remain solid.
9Flux is used in soldering mainly to:
A.Paint the finished product only
B.Clean oxides and help solder wet the joint surfaces
C.Increase the melting point of steel above 3000 °C
D.Replace the need for heat completely
Explanation: Flux removes or prevents oxide films so molten solder can flow and wet the joint.
10Which joint type is formed by overlapping two metal pieces and fastening them?
A.Butt joint only with no overlap
B.Lap joint
C.Miter joint used only in electrical wiring diagrams
D.Hydraulic joint that needs no fasteners
Explanation: A lap joint stacks or overlaps pieces so they can be riveted, screwed, soldered, or welded.
