In the Adjoining Sheets Diagram, how are the adjoining sheets represented?

• A. As rectangles surrounding the sheet under consideration
• B. As circles inside the sheet
• C. As color blocks in the margin
• D. As lines along the border

Answer: (A)

Adjoining sheets are represented as rectangles surrounding the sheet under consideration. This surrounding-rectangle layout visually communicates which sheets touch or border the current one and shows their relative positions along the edges. It makes it easy to map adjacency at a glance, so you can see which neighbor lies on each side without crowding the central sheet. The other representations wouldn’t convey neighboring relationships as clearly: circles inside would imply internal elements, color blocks in the margin suggest a legend rather than actual neighboring sheets, and lines along the border only show a single boundary rather than the full surrounding set.
