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?

Correct answer

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

  1. A X connects to itself
  2. B X connects to Y — bending and joining the strip brings the two opposite ends together
  3. C Neither X nor Y connects to anything
  4. 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.
