Back to Figure

The image has two sets of wheels with spokes.

The first, on the left, consists of a set of dots connected by a line to make a circular figure. The circle is incomplete since one of the dots does not directly connect to its neighbor. Instead, both the dots connect to another dot at the center of the circle. The result is a circular figure with a piece sliced out.

The second image, on the left, shows a spoke-like structure. Each of the dots, which are arranged in a circular fashion, are connected to the dot in the center, but only two of the dots connect to each other.

Back to Figure

The figure has three interconnected circles. Each circle has five dots inside that are also connected to each other. While one circle has several internal connections, another has far fewer ties between its dots. The third circle has a medium number of connections.

A legend below the figure states that the connections within the circles are strong ties and the ones that connect the three circles are weak ties.

Back to Figure

In the figure, there are two cards displayed. The one on the left is titled the Reference Card and has a single straight vertical line. The second one, on the right, has three vertical lines of varying heights, named A, B and C. B is the tallest, followed by C and finally A. This card is titled Comparison Card.
