I'd guess that the expected answer is "D" -- the triple B/C/D all "cannot" be right, of course, but since they tell you that the diagram is drawn to scale, changing B or C would change the diagram [which would mean that it was not to scale at the outset]. /Bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:bernie@fantasyfarm.com Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <--
