The manual gives one general meaning for the whole family of yellow warning signs. Where does that entry tell you to look for the specific hazard or rule marked by any one warning sign?
-
A.
In the number printed on the yellow-and-black recommended-speed tab
-
B.
In the sample signs shown next to the entry Correct
-
C.
In the color of the warning sign only
-
D.
In a separate booklet the DMV mails with your learner permit
The answer is "In the sample signs shown next to the entry"
The manual states one general meaning for the yellow-diamond family (a hazardous location or a special rule) and points to the sample signs printed alongside the entry for what any given sign marks. Choice A is the trap: the advisory-speed tab is introduced two sentences later in the same paragraph, so a learner scanning for a specific-meaning source can lift that tab into the role. The tab shows a recommended speed for an area, never a code for the type of hazard.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. In the number printed on the yellow-and-black recommended-speed tab
The advisory-speed tab shows a recommended speed for the marked area, not a code for the type of hazard the warning sign is marking. This answer groups the advisory number with the sign's meaning because both live in the same paragraph.
C. In the color of the warning sign only
Yellow-with-black identifies the sign as a warning sign in general, but the specific meaning comes from the symbol or letters, which the manual illustrates in the sample signs. This answer treats color as identity, a habit useful for spotting a warning sign at a glance but not for reading which one.
D. In a separate booklet the DMV mails with your learner permit
The warning-sign entry points to the sample signs for specific meanings, not to a separate mailed booklet. This answer assumes a mailed insert carries the sign visuals separately, borrowing a familiar pattern from other DMV mailings.
