According to the manual, which highway systems in North Carolina are numbered and marked?
-
A.
Interstate, U.S. and N.C. highways Correct
-
B.
N.C. state highways only
-
C.
Only U.S. and Interstate highways
-
D.
Interstate highways only
The answer is "Interstate, U.S. and N.C. highways"
The manual states Interstate, U.S. and N.C. highways are all numbered and marked. The trap is picking Interstate highways only, which drivers who first learned the numbering rule from a national road atlas of the federal Interstate system tend to do.
The traps in the wrong answers
B. N.C. state highways only
Drops the Interstate and U.S. systems the manual also lists. This answer assumes a state manual only covers state roads, missing the sentence that names three systems side by side.
C. Only U.S. and Interstate highways
Drops N.C. state highways from the list the manual gives. This answer recognizes the two federal shield systems from long-distance travel, then forgets the N.C. diamond in the same sentence.
D. Interstate highways only
Drops the U.S. and N.C. systems the manual also lists. This answer narrows the rule to Interstates, a scope drivers picked up from a road atlas showing only the federal system.
