- A.
  
  Arrow
- B.
  
  Other
Correct Answer
A. Arrow

Explanation
When the weld symbol is placed below the reference line, it shows that a weld is needed only on the side of the joint indicated by the arrow. The arrow is used to indicate the specific location and direction of the weld. Therefore, the correct answer is "Arrow".

When the weld symbol is placed above the reference line, it shows that a weld is needed only on the ____________ side of the joint.
- A.
  
  Arrow
- B.
  
  Other
Correct Answer
B. Other

Explanation
When the weld symbol is placed above the reference line, it shows that a weld is needed only on the other side of the joint. This means that the weld is not required on the side where the symbol is placed, but it is necessary on the opposite side of the joint. The placement of the symbol above the reference line indicates the specific location where the weld is needed, providing clear instructions to the welder.

When the weld symbol is placed both above and below the reference line, it shows that a weld is needed on __________ side.
- A.
  
  Arrow
- B.
  
  Other
- C.
  
  Both
Correct Answer
C. Both

Explanation
When the weld symbol is placed both above and below the reference line, it indicates that a weld is required on both sides. This means that the weld needs to be performed on both the top and bottom sides of the joint or workpiece. The symbol is used to provide clear instructions to welders and ensure that the welding is done correctly and completely on both surfaces.

A circle at the tangent of the arrow and the reference line means welding to be:
- A.
  
  In a circle
- B.
  
  Done with a 'weave'
- C.
  
  All around
- D.
  
  All in a round
Correct Answer
C. All around

Explanation
The correct answer is "all around." This is indicated by the circle at the tangent of the arrow and the reference line. The circle symbolizes that the welding should be done continuously around the joint, covering the entire circumference.

What type of weld is called out?
- A.
  
  Single bevel groove
- B.
  
  Double v-groove
- C.
  
  Single v-groove
- D.
  
  Double groovy weld
Correct Answer
C. Single v-groove

Explanation
A single v-groove weld is a type of weld that is called out in this question. This type of weld involves making a V-shaped groove on one side of the joint, and then filling it with weld metal. It is commonly used for butt joints, where two pieces of metal are joined together along their edges. The V-groove helps to provide better penetration and stronger welds.

  Single bevel groove
- B.
  
  Double v-groove
- C.
  
  Single v-groove
- D.
  
  Double groovy weld
Correct Answer
A. Single bevel groove

Explanation
A single bevel groove weld is called out by the symbol. This type of weld is used when only one side of the joint is accessible for welding. It involves preparing a bevel on one side of the joint, creating a V-shaped groove, and filling it with weld metal. This type of weld provides good penetration and strength, making it suitable for joining thick plates or when a strong joint is required. Double v-groove, single v-groove, and double groovy weld are not the correct types of weld called out by the symbol.

The symbol placed at the intersection of the arrow and reference line to indicate a weld all around is a __________.

Correct Answer
Circle, circle

Explanation
In welding symbology, a small circle placed at the junction of the arrow and the reference line signifies that the weld should be continuous around the entire joint. This is important for joints where complete sealing or structural integrity is required, ensuring that the weld encompasses the full circumference of the connection.

The experienced welder expertly manipulated the welding torch, ensuring a consistent and _______ bead along the joint.

Correct Answer
Uniform, uniform

Explanation
In welding, a "bead" refers to the deposit of filler metal that forms the weld. A "uniform" bead indicates that the weld has a consistent size and shape along its entire length, which is a sign of good welding technique and results in a stronger, more reliable joint.

In shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), the molten metal that forms the weld is primarily supplied by the _______.

Correct Answer
Electrode, electrode

Explanation
In SMAW, also known as stick welding, the electrode itself melts and becomes part of the weld. This is different from other welding processes like MIG or TIG, where a separate filler wire is used. The electrode in SMAW not only conducts the electrical current but also provides the filler material for the weld joint.
