Question

The angle or inclination of the axis of letters relative to the baseline is known as:

• A. Baseline
• B. Baseline alignment
• C. Alignment
• D. Slant

Hint:

Think of it visually: \textbf{Baseline} is the road. \textbf{Alignment} is whether the car is driving straight on the road or veering up or down. \textbf{Slant} is how much the passengers are leaning to the right or left.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

This question relates to the characteristics of handwriting.
Step 1: Define the terms.
(1) Baseline: The real or imaginary line upon which the letters rest.
(2) & (3) Alignment: Refers to the arrangement of letters and words in relation to the baseline. For example, the writing may follow the baseline, or trend upwards or downwards.
(4) Slant: Refers to the angle of the writing. It is the inclination of the axes of the letters relative to the perpendicular of the baseline. It can be forward (right-slanted), backward (left-slanted), or vertical.
Conclusion: The definition given in the question perfectly matches the definition of Slant.
