The accompanying figure is an example of a ____ tolerance.
A) bilateral 
B) strict 
C) loose

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The figure shows a single arrow indicating the direction of allowable variation, which is a characteristic of unilateral tolerance. Bilateral tolerance would have arrows pointing in opposite directions indicating allowable variation on both sides of the nominal value. Strict tolerance and loose tolerance are not specific types of tolerance, but rather describe the degree of allowable variation within a given tolerance.
