Handwriting with the slanted strokes of successive characters joined and the angles rounded is called:

• A. Cursive
• B. Manuscript
• C. Calligraphy
• D. Print

Answer: (A)

Cursive handwriting is the style where letters are connected with slanted, flowing strokes and the joints between letters are smooth and rounded, creating a continuous writing motion. This connected form makes writing faster by allowing the pen to move from one letter to the next without lifting. The slant and rounded connections are hallmarks of cursive. In contrast, manuscript uses separate, upright letters like print; calligraphy is decorative and deliberate with varied strokes for style; print refers to block letters that are not joined.
