In handwriting, a short initial or terminal stroke is called :
Answer: C
In handwriting, a short initial or terminal stroke is called a spur. A hook is a curved stroke at the end, a hiatus is a gap or break in the writing, and a staff is the vertical stroke of a letter such as b or d. So C is correct. The other terms describe different features: a hook is a curved ending, a hiatus is a gap within a letter or between letters, and a staff is the straight upright part of a letter, so the question is answered by the stroke that is short and placed at the start or end of a letter. Examiners note such strokes because their form and direction are habits of the writer and help in comparing a questioned writing with known samples.
