You see a brown road sign along a Texas highway. What kind of information does its color indicate?
-
A.
Construction work ahead
-
B.
Direction guidance to a city
-
C.
Gas, food, and lodging services
-
D.
Public recreation and scenic sites Correct
The answer is "Public recreation and scenic sites"
Brown is the color reserved for parks, monuments, and scenic areas. Choice B borrows green's job (direction guidance to cities) from the destination signs that dominate long stretches of interstate driving.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Construction work ahead
Applies orange's construction-warning role to brown. This answer reads brown as an alert color because it stands out against green highway boards.
B. Direction guidance to a city
Uses green's destination-guidance meaning on a brown sign. This answer reaches for the color drivers see most on interstate destination boards without checking what brown separately owns.
C. Gas, food, and lodging services
Applies blue's motorist-services role to brown. This answer groups campgrounds and gas stations under one heading rather than treating them as separate color categories.
