The manual's guide-sign chart describes what appears on the face of a green destination sign. What does it list?
-
A.
White letters Correct
-
B.
Route numbers
-
C.
Black arrows
-
D.
Route shields
The answer is "White letters"
The manual lists destination signs as green with white letters. Choice D is the trap for a reader who took in the chart in one pass; route shields belong to the route-sign entry printed right beside the destination-sign entry, and the image carries over.
The traps in the wrong answers
B. Route numbers
Route numbers appear on route signs, a separate entry in the guide-sign chart. This answer blurs destination signs with route markers because both help drivers navigate.
C. Black arrows
Black arrows appear on yellow warning signs, not on green destination signs. This answer pictures the sign as a warning because it points to a place.
D. Route shields
Route shields belong to route signs, an entry printed alongside the destination-sign entry. This answer carries the shield image over from the route-sign row that sits right next to the destination-sign row in the chart.
