This document appears to be an exam for a surveying course, as it contains multiple choice and descriptive questions about various surveying topics. Some of the questions ask students to define surveying terms like reciprocal ranging, triangulation, and traversing. Other questions ask students to explain surveying methods and calculations, such as determining the width of a river from bearings, correcting distances for tape sag, and setting out a circular curve from intersecting straights. The exam also contains questions about levelling, including reducing levels, estimating gradients, and accounting for curvature and refraction corrections. It aims to test students' understanding of fundamental surveying concepts and procedures.
