Question 1: How do you ensure the accuracy of "molding cuts" when working with intricate woodwork?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Molding cuts do not need to be measured, as the fit is adjusted during installation

Measure carefully and use a miter saw with an adjustable angle for precise cuts

Use a hand saw for molding cuts, as it's more flexible for different angles

Molding cuts should be made based on visual estimation only

Question 2: How do you accurately measure and cut for a shelf that fits between two vertical supports?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Use a sliding caliper to check the measurements

Measure and add an additional 1/2 inch to the shelf width

Measure the width and subtract the thickness of the supports

Measure from edge to edge without adjustment

Question 3: When working from a blueprint, how do you accurately mark out door openings on the framing plan?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Only focus on aesthetic details such as the door type and style

Use the visual positioning of doors on the floor plan to estimate their placement

Follow the door header dimensions and jamb locations indicated on the plan to cut accurately

Mark out the door rough openings based only on the door size, without considering framing details

Question 4: How should you interpret "electrical symbols" in blueprints for proper installation of electrical systems?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Electrical symbols are not necessary for carpentry work and can be ignored

Electrical symbols only show where lighting fixtures should go, not outlets

Electrical symbols represent outlets, switches, and wiring, helping you understand where to place electrical components in the construction

Electrical symbols are irrelevant for framing but important for interior finishes

Question 5: In trim carpentry, which technique is often used to install baseboards with minimal visible fasteners?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Use of finishing nails

Use of concealed clips

Use of brad nails with wood glue

Nail and putty method

Question 6: What is the best method to measure and cut a "box beam" with perfect symmetry?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Measure the length and width, then cut the box beam without checking for squareness

Use a hand saw to cut box beams, as it provides the most precise cut

Measure each side of the box beam, ensuring all angles are square, and use a table saw for clean cuts

Box beams can be cut freehand without measuring, as they are standardized
