Multiple Choice

According to Baseline Length, the conduct of survey shall start from an _____________ and shall end at ___________ (check base) for checking purposes.

In baseline length checking, you want a starting point that you can reliably re-establish in the field and an end point that is easy to identify and verify. Beginning at a local reference point provides a practical, nearby anchor tied to places you can reoccupy and re-measure with limited error. Ending at a city landmark gives you a clear, recognizable feature that stays visible and stable enough for future checks and cross-verification with maps or plans. This pairing makes the check straightforward to reproduce and compare, helping verify that instruments and procedures produced the expected distance. The other options rely on higher-order control points or end with a marker that might be harder to visually verify or re-establish consistently in typical field conditions, making them less ideal for a reliable baseline check.
