    Robin, I was coming to the comments section to make the same point. You are correct. It is the symbol of a short-range wireless technology standard. My laptop and printer are connected, but by wifi, not Bluetooth. Neither machine shows the symbol.

    The last one is rather ambiguous it can mean a lot of things like exit , emergency exit , sharing was not really on top of mind here.

    That symbol is used a lot in mobile applications.

    The plus or minus sign can also indicate a range, eg 10 (symbol) 2 means anywhere between 8 and 12. It's not quite the same as saying the square root of 9 is (symbol) 3, although it works for that too.

    I bought some cookies once, the packet for which said they weighed ±30 g. Anti-gravity cookies? 🙂

    In the USA, the single inverted comma is used for 'quote within a quote', but in the UK, it's the double that's used for this purpose. Using the example given, in the UK, it would be written, 'I heard him call me, "Stop right there!" before running off.'

    #19 means no uTurns, not no turns. It's for driving. Not walking.

    The first one was the Bluetooth symbol. It doesn't necessarily mean two devices are connected. It CAN mean that two devices are connected via Bluetooth, but it can mean other things, as well. On the side of a product, it could mean it has Bluetooth functionally included. It could mean that a device's Bluetooth is currently on and ready to make connections. Also, you wouldn't use this symbol to indicate two devices are connected if they're not using Bluetooth. They could be using USB or WiFi Direct, and the Bluetooth symbol would be inappropriate.

    Q21 was a challenge cos it doesn't include the symbol we're meant to identify!

    The "correct" answer for #16 is an inferior selection. A lit bulb only indicates an idea when over someone's head. That bulb looks much more like a test used to indicate that an electrical circuit is live and closed. You could even interpret the box it's on as what it's testing (although it would seem disproportionately large.)
