Distortion on any projection can best be described as

  • A.unavoidable but controllable in its placement
  • B.avoidable if the scale is large enough
  • C.confined to the outer edges of every map
  • D.the same for every projection

Answer: A

Flattening a curved surface must stretch it somewhere, so the cartographer decides which property to protect and where to put the error rather than whether to have any. That choice is the substance of projection selection.
