23. According to the instructions in the second paragraph, the first stitch in the
second row of cross stitches would begin
A. with the needle coming out of the top left-hand corner of the first cross
on the left in the second row.
B. with the needle coming out of the top left-hand corner of the first cross
on the right in the second row.
C. with the needle coming out of the bottom left-hand corner of the first
cross on the left in the second row.
D. with the needle coming out of the bottom left-hand corner of the first
cross on the right in the second row.
E. with the needle coming out of the top right-hand corner of the first cross
on the right in the second row.
The best answer is C. The last sentence instructs the embroiderer to turn the
work and begin again to complete the crosses. After the fabric is turned, the first
half-cross begins on the left-hand side and runs from left top to right bottom. To
complete the cross, the stitch would go from the left bottom to the right top, just
as it did when the row was stitched for the first time.
