Survey Symbols Practice Test

In surveying records, shorthand codes are built from the key words in the description so you can identify the item quickly. For Friar Lands Resurvey, the code Frs is used because it captures the essential terms: Friar Lands and the fact that this entry involves a resurvey, with the trailing letter signaling the action. This makes Frs a clear, distinctive label for this specific record. The other options either drop part of the description or don’t align with the intended action, which would make the code less precise or applicable to a different record.
