The span of the floor

The type of wood used

The type of flooring material

Question 3: How does saw blade type affect the quality of a cut in wood?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The right blade type (e.g., fine-tooth for smooth cuts, coarse-tooth for fast cuts) impacts the finish of the cut

Saw blade types do not affect the speed of the cut, only the quality

Saw blades are interchangeable for all materials and do not affect the cut quality

Only fine-tooth blades should be used for all types of cuts, regardless of material

Question 4: When building a deck, what is the most important factor to consider when selecting deck materials?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Material weight

Durability and resistance to weather

Aesthetic appeal

Ease of installation

Question 5: What is the importance of cutting angles accurately when making miter joints for trim work?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Accurate angles ensure a clean, tight fit that will hold up over time, providing professional-quality finishes

Estimating angles based on visual estimation without any measurement

Using only one angle to fit all joints, without adjusting for wall or frame variations

Cutting at any random angle, as it does not affect the overall appearance of the trim

Question 6: How should you measure and cut a "scarf joint" for joining long timber beams?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Measure the angle and length of the cut carefully, ensuring the two pieces align flush, then cut with a circular saw

Scarf joints can be cut freehand and adjusted later

Only measure the length of the joint, as angle accuracy is not critical

Scarf joints are irrelevant for structural timber and can be skipped
