According to the manual, N.C. secondary road signs use which shape?
-
A.
Rectangle Correct
-
B.
Diamond
-
C.
Shield
-
D.
Pentagon
The answer is "Rectangle"
The manual identifies N.C. secondary road signs specifically as rectangular. The trap is diamond, the shape the manual assigns to N.C. state route markers on the entry printed just above the secondary road one.
The traps in the wrong answers
B. Diamond
Applies to N.C. state route markers, not to secondary road signs. This answer carries the diamond over from the state-route-marker line printed just above in the same list.
C. Shield
Applies to U.S. highway and Interstate markers, not to secondary road signs. This answer assumes any numbered-highway shape drivers see most often on shields carries over to smaller state roads too.
D. Pentagon
Applies to school-zone or school-crossing warning signs, not road identifiers. This answer blends the five-sided school-zone warning shape with the road-identifier shapes listed just after it.
