Drag each label onto the part it names. On a touch screen or keyboard, tap a label and then tap where it goes. Wrong answers bounce back so you can try again, but only first tries count toward your score. When all three parts are done, a results card appears at the bottom. Take a screenshot of it and submit it.

Part 3 · On the job

Pick the right card, port or step
