Proper hacksaw cutting is accomplished when pressure is applied only on the _______________.

Afront of the hacksaw frame
Bbackward stroke
Cforward stroke
Dtop of the hacksaw frame
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) forward stroke. Proper hacksaw cutting is accomplished when pressure is applied only on the forward stroke, not the backward stroke. This is because the cutting action of a hacksaw occurs on the forward stroke, when the teeth are designed to cut through the material. Applying pressure on the backward stroke can cause the teeth to bend or the blade to break. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not correctly identify the proper technique for using a hacksaw.
