1.
C.
Line
Each type of chart presents data in different forms and time
periods. A smooth line chart presents the cumulative (total)
effective over a given time period. The smooth line chart is
very useful in presenting the current trend of the plotted data,
whereas a pie chart compares the individual parts that comprise
the total to the total, and the bar and column charts show
relationships between several items at or over a given time
period (page 130, para 3b).
2.
A.
Upperleft side
Since most people that will be reading the table read from left
to right and top to bottom, the first place the viewer looks
when reading a table is the upperleft side; therefore the
upperleft corner is the appropriate place to present the data
the table emphasizes (page 160, para 4b).
3.
C.
Keep it two lines larger and two spaces wider than the
largest caption.
For the viewer to readily see and understand the captions in the
boxheads and for the table to present an uncluttered appearance,
you should size the boxheads two lines larger and two spaces
wider than the largest caption. This means all the boxheads are
the same size, with the lettering in the center (page 162, para
4b(2)(d)).
4.
B.
Cap, base, and direction
When constructing guidelines for uppercase letters only, you
use the base and cap lines; however, when the lettering is
inclined you should also use direction lines as a reference so
all letters have a uniform slant. So in this case, you should
use the cap, base, and direction guidelines (pages 163 and 1
64, para 5a).
