In the legend, the term 'spring' is associated with which feature?

• A. Masonry dam
• B. Water well
• C. Oasis
• D. Fountain

Answer: (A)

In reading a legend, the label you see is tied to the symbol shown for that feature in the map or diagram. Here, the word “spring” is the legend label that corresponds to the symbol drawn for a masonry dam. That means, in this particular figure, the graphic used to depict a spring is the same shape or icon used for a masonry dam, so the feature labeled as a spring is identified as a dam in the legend’s key.

This works because legends map symbols to actual features, and different diagrams can reuse symbols or use context-specific labeling. The other possibilities—water well, oasis, and fountain—would have different symbols or icons in the legend, which is why they don’t match the label in this case. The essential point is to read the legend’s symbol-to-feature mapping exactly as it’s presented, not rely on outside assumptions about what the word typically describes.
