Which of these geometry terms best describes an unsharpened pencil?

A. ray
B. line segment
C. point
D. plane

**
1- a ray: it has a start but no end 2- a line segment: it has a start and an end 3- a point: undefined geometric shape that indicates position 4- plane: a flat surface that has no thickness
Now, an un-sharpened pencil has both a start and an end. This matches the description of a line segment.
Therefore, the correct answer is line segment
Hope this helps :)

An unsharpened pencil is best described as a line segment because it has two distinct endpoints: the blunt end and the tip. Unlike a ray, which extends infinitely, and a point or plane, which does not represent a length, the pencil has measurable length. Thus, the correct answer is line segment.
