Question 1: How does joinery affect the strength and durability of wooden furniture during construction?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Properly executed joinery methods, such as dovetail or mortise-and-tenon, create strong, durable connections without the need for visible fasteners

Using nails and glue alone can create a weak connection, reducing durability

Joinery serves only an aesthetic purpose and does not affect durability

Screws are the best method for creating strong, but temporary, joints

Question 2: How should ladders be inspected before use on a construction site to meet safety regulations?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Only check the height of the ladder without inspecting its condition

Ensure that the ladder is decorative and properly matches the design of the building

Inspect the ladder for stability, checking for cracks or loose rungs, and ensure it is placed on a level surface

Use ladders that are not rated for the job, assuming their weight limit is sufficient

Question 3: 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

Question 4: How do you achieve a smooth, even finish when sanding "hardwood surfaces" in cabinetry?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Sand only in one direction to prevent cross-grain scratches

Use progressively finer grits of sandpaper, starting with a coarse grit and finishing with a fine grit

It is best to use a random orbital sander set to the highest speed for a quick finish

Sanding is unnecessary for hardwoods if the surface appears smooth

Question 5: What is the benefit of using chamfer cuts in woodworking projects?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Chamfer cuts only serve to roughen the wood surface for better grip

Chamfer cuts reduce the strength of the joint by weakening the edges

Chamfer cuts create a clean angled edge, which reduces splintering and enhances aesthetics

Chamfer cuts are used solely for decorative purposes without structural benefits

Question 6: When reading a framing plan, how are the location of windows and doors typically marked?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

As solid rectangles with no dimensions

As squares with arrows indicating size

As rectangles with a labeled dimension

As dashed lines with a label indicating type
