ASVAB · Connecting Points

A flat rectangular strip has point X at one end and point Y at the other. If the strip is bent into a circle and the ends joined, which points connect?

Reviewed by Jordan Morley, Editorial Lead at 247SimpleTests. Written by the 247SimpleTests Editorial Team from the official source material cited on every question.

Correct answer

X connects to Y — bending and joining the strip brings the two opposite ends together

A Neither X nor Y connects to anything
B X connects to Y — bending and joining the strip brings the two opposite ends together
C X connects to itself
D Both connect to the midpoint

Why this is the answer

When a strip is bent into a loop/circle, the two ends (X and Y) meet. The connection instruction 'X to Y' means these two ends are joined. This is a basic connecting-point concept — trace where each labeled point travels during the assembly transformation.

About this topic: Connecting Points

Connecting-points items show shapes with labelled points and ask which answer joins them correctly. The skill is tracking where each labelled point sits on its shape after the shapes are moved — not where the shapes end up. This is one of 13 Assembling Objects questions on connecting points, each with a full explanation on a single study page.

An Assembling Objects connecting-point question shows you a shape (say a triangle) with a labeled point on one of its sides, and another shape (say a square) with a labeled point on one of its sides. Your job is to find the answer figure where:

If a connecting-point question shows a triangle with point A on its top vertex and a circle with point B on its left edge, which is true about the correct answer?

On a connecting-point question, if a marked point is on a corner (vertex) of the shape, what does the answer require?

A question shows a flat shape with labeled points A, B, C, D, and a 3D object with labeled points W, X, Y, Z. The task is to identify which points connect when the shape is folded. Point A is at a top corner, Point B is at an adjacent corner. Which principle determines which 3D points they become?
