According to the manual, what shape is a YIELD sign?
-
A.
Diamond with four sides
-
B.
Octagonal with eight sides
-
C.
Triangular with three sides Correct
-
D.
Rectangular and vertical
The answer is "Triangular with three sides"
The manual states YIELD signs are triangular (3-sided) in shape. Test-takers who pick octagon are recalling the STOP sign named just above YIELD in the same regulatory-signs section, and reach for it because STOP and YIELD share the red-and-white color scheme.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Diamond with four sides
The manual gives YIELD a three-sided triangular outline, not a four-sided diamond. This answer borrows the diamond outline associated with warning signs and applies it to a regulatory right-of-way sign.
B. Octagonal with eight sides
The manual reserves the octagon for STOP, calling it the only 8-sided sign on the highway. This answer swaps YIELD with STOP because they are the red-and-white regulatory signs the manual names together in the same section.
D. Rectangular and vertical
The manual assigns vertical rectangles to SPEED LIMIT and similar posted rules; YIELD keeps its own three-sided outline. This answer defaults to the vertical-rectangle shape the manual names as the usual regulatory outline without recalling that YIELD is called out as an exception.
