Two from the bank, answered.

Real items, with the answer marked and the reason written out — the same format as all 100.

Cabinet Installation

Under federal lead rules, which home is "target housing" for a cabinet remodel?

  1. AA house built in 1982 with children living there
  2. BA 1990 house with original painted cabinets
  3. CA house built in 1974 with children living thereCorrect
  4. DA new house built in 2020

Why: Target housing is housing built before 1978, with limited exceptions, so a 1974 house qualifies. Houses built in 1982 or 2020 are not target housing, and painted cabinets do not make a 1990 house target housing.40 CFR §745.103 (target housing)

Cabinetry and Millwork Fabrication

Which statement about hardwoods and softwoods is supported by the Wood Handbook?

  1. AThe names are botanicalCorrect
  2. BHardwoods are evergreen trees
  3. CHardwoods are harder than softwoods
  4. DSoftwoods contain vessels; hardwoods do not

Why: The Wood Handbook explains that hardwoods are angiosperms and softwoods gymnosperms, and that some softwoods, such as longleaf pine and Douglas-fir, are harder than some hardwoods. Hardwoods, not softwoods, contain vessels, and temperate hardwoods are usually deciduous, not evergreen.Wood Handbook (FPL-GTR-282), hardwoods and softwoods
