The manual describes lane markings on New York roads. How many painted lines may appear between two lanes?
-
A.
Up to two Correct
-
B.
Up to three
-
C.
Up to four
-
D.
Only one, always
The answer is "Up to two"
The manual notes that up to two lines may appear between lanes, and the configurations it lists (broken, solid-with-broken, double solid, single solid) never exceed two. Readers who skip past those two-line configurations default to a single lane divider as the only kind they have noticed, and that habit lands on D.
The traps in the wrong answers
B. Up to three
The manual does not describe three-line lane markings. This answer overreads the possibilities and imagines multi-stripe markings the manual never lists.
C. Up to four
The manual does not describe four-line lane markings. This answer extends the count further, mistaking complex highway painting for extra lane lines.
D. Only one, always
The manual describes two-line configurations like solid-plus-broken and double solid. This answer skips the mention of two-line configurations and defaults to a single lane divider.
