Which term refers to a line used to indicate points on a visual scale?

• A. Tick marks
• B. Floor plan
• C. Criteria
• D. Residential Construction

Answer: (A)

Tick marks are the small lines placed along a visual scale to show increments and pinpoint exact values. They appear on rulers, graphs, and scale drawings, helping you read measurements accurately by indicating where specific points lie along the line. The other terms refer to different concepts: a floor plan is a drawing of a building’s layout, criteria are standards used to judge something, and residential construction is a field of building homes. So the line used to indicate points on a visual scale is tick marks.
