OBSERVATION

This question was fairly attempted by many candidates. In 2(a) (i), many candidates could mention the
field operation that could be performed using specimens G (Ranging pole), H (Measuring tape), I (Pin)
and J (Garden line). However, in 2(a) (ii), majority of the candidates could not name the other equipment
that may be added to specimen G (Ranging pole), H (Measuring tape), I (Pin) and J (Garden line) to
perform the operation mentioned in 2(a) (i). Similarly in 2(a) (iii), many candidates were unable to state
the precaution that should be taken when using specimen J (Garden line).
