___ is the technique of driving nails at an angle to fasten the end of one piece to another.

• A. Toenailing
• B. Nailing
• C. Prying
• D. Dimpling

Answer: (A)

Toenailing is a way to join the end of one piece to another by driving a nail at an angle from the face of the first piece into the end grain of the second. The angled entry pulls the pieces together and helps the joint stay tight, which is especially useful when the pieces meet at a corner or you want to avoid a visible straight-nail pattern. This method provides a stronger hold for an end-to-end connection than nailing straight in, and it’s the specific technique described by the prompt.
