Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
the topography of the land, including the slope, elevation of the site, streets, sidewalks and curbs.
A describes a topographic survey or topography sheet, not an elevation sheet. Topographic sheets show the elevation and slope of land, streets, and sidewalks, while elevation sheets focus on vertical views of structures themselves.
an interior view of the homes showing their framing.
an aerial view of the subdivision.
C describes an aerial photograph or site plan, which shows the entire subdivision from above. Elevation sheets specifically show vertical views of structures, not aerial perspectives of the entire development.
