Q 
2) The FT-1 and FT-2 tips are automatically adjusting tips which provide constant flow. A baffle is connected to a spring within the tip housing. As the engine pressure is increased, the baffle moves \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_, providing a \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_discharge orifice, with a corresponding increase in nozzle flow. The reverse is true if the engine pressure is reduced. Within limits, the nozzle pressure remains constant as the flow increases or decreases.
A) Backward, smaller
B) Forward, larger 
C) Backward, larger 
D) Forward, smaller
