ASVAB · Connecting Points

In a connection problem on Assembling Objects, what do the labeled points (such as A and B) on the shapes indicate?

Correct answer

The exact points on each shape that must be joined by the connecting line in the correct answer

  1. A The exact points on each shape that must be joined by the connecting line in the correct answer
  2. B The size of the shapes
  3. C The color of each shape
  4. D Points that must be removed

Why this is the answer

In connection-type Assembling Objects problems, the small labeled points (like A and B) mark the exact spots on each shape where a connecting line must attach. The correct answer shows the same shapes joined by a line running from the labeled point on one shape to the labeled point on the other, with the shapes correctly oriented. Wrong answers typically attach the line to the wrong point, use the wrong shapes, or position the shapes incorrectly. The strategy is to track which labeled point belongs to which shape and confirm the line connects exactly those points. Careful attention to the connection points is the key skill.

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.
