During the construction of her company’s facility, Mary has been told that light frame construction material has been used to build the internal walls. Which of the following best describes why Mary is concerned about this issue?
i. It provides the least amount of protection against fire
ii. It provides the least amount of protection against forcible entry attempts
iii. It is combustible
iv. It provides the least amount of protection for mounting walls and windows
A.
i, ii, iv
B.
i, ii
C.
iii
D.
i, ii, iii
Explanation:
Light frame construction material provides the least amount of
protection against fire and forcible entry attempts. It is composed of untreated
lumber that would be combustible during a fire. Light frame construction material is
usually used to build homes, primarily because it is cheap, but also because homes
typically are not under the same types of fire and intrusion threats that office
buildings are.
IMO, this is a poor question and should be re-written.
1st, it is asking “which of the following would be best why mary would be concerned”, which would indicate only a single possible answer. Anytime the word “Best” is used, means there is only 1 possible answer.
But they listed 3 answers that are all valid concerns, and 1 wrong one. Plus 2 of the answers were pretty much identical (i and iii).
So really, the question should of have been, “which of the following should mary be least concerned about” = iv, or “which of the following items should mary be concerned about” = i,ii,iii
