Suggested Answer: B

Open the Block Editor: Select the north arrow block and enter the Block Editor by typing BEDIT in the command line and pressing Enter.

Replace Text with Field: Select the text object (1' = 20') and delete it. Then, use the MTEXT command to create a new text object.

Insert Field: In the Mtext Editor, right-click and choose Insert Field. In the Field dialog box, select Object as the Field Category, and choose Viewport as the Field Names.

Select the Viewport Scale: Choose the Standard Scale property and click OK. This will create a dynamic text that updates based on the viewport scale.

Save and Close: Save the block changes and exit the Block Editor.

Making it a block attribute could work too, but fields are better!

Exploding the block seems like a bad idea.

I remember practicing a similar question, and I think exploding the block isn't the right approach. It seems like it would complicate things.

I recall that visibility states can help with showing different options, but I don't think that's what we need here.

I'm not so sure about that. I feel like I might have seen a question where we had to use block attributes instead.

I think the answer might be B, replacing the text with a field. I remember something about fields updating automatically.
