Question
- A. Only the names of places
- B. A legend explaining symbols used
- C. No additional information is needed
- D. Only geographical coordinates
Answer
The correct answer is A legend explaining symbols used.
Explanation
The correct option is A legend explaining symbols used. A legend explaining symbols used is correct because it directly matches the approved learning objective to label and annotate diagrams, maps, graphs, sketches and photographs. This belongs to Cartographic skills within Cartographic skills, so the answer must stay focused on the geographical process, evidence, place, or impact named by the curriculum. The other options are weaker because they move away from Cartographic skills, reverse the geographical relationship, or make a broader claim than the objective supports.
Common mistake
Misunderstanding Labels
Students often forget to include all necessary labels when annotating maps and diagrams, leading to incomplete information.
Ensure that every important feature is clearly labeled and described, including scale, direction, and any significant landmarks.
