Which of the files listed is tapered on all sides and used to enlarge rectangular- shaped holes and slots?

AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Square. A square file is tapered on all sides and is commonly used to enlarge rectangular-shaped holes and slots. The tapered shape of the square file allows it to fit into and smooth the edges of rectangular openings, enlarging them as needed. The other file options, such as round or half-round files, are not well-suited for this specific task as they do not match the rectangular shape of the hole or slot.
