State whether the following is true or false.
An inset map may use a different scale from the main map, provided the difference is stated.

  • A.True
  • B.False
  • C.True only at large scales
  • D.False only at small scales

Answer: A

Correct answer: True

An inset exists precisely because some part of the subject needs a different treatment - a dense city centre enlarged, or a distant island brought in at a reduced scale. What is not permitted is leaving the reader to guess, so the inset carries its own scale bar or a stated scale, and its frame makes clear that it is a separate map rather than part of the main face.
