    Correct Answer
    C. 1800 degrees
    Explanation
    Sparklers reach a temperature of 1800 degrees. This high temperature is due to the combustion of the chemicals in the sparkler, which produce intense heat and light. The heat generated by sparklers can cause burns and injuries if not handled properly. It is important to exercise caution and follow safety guidelines when using sparklers to prevent accidents.

    How do you know if your fireworks may be illegal? (Check all that apply).

    • A.

      It doesn't have a manufacturer's name or label.

    • B.

      You're in Minnesota but you had to drive to Wisconsin to buy it.

    • C.

      It says M-80 or at least your friend says that's what it is.

    • D.

      It has a label and instructions, but you don't need them, you got this.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. It doesn't have a manufacturer's name or label.
    B. You're in Minnesota but you had to drive to Wisconsin to buy it.
    C. It says M-80 or at least your friend says that's what it is.
    Explanation
    The answer choices provided indicate several indicators that suggest the fireworks may be illegal. The absence of a manufacturer's name or label is a red flag as it indicates that the fireworks may not meet safety standards or have undergone proper quality control. Additionally, having to drive to another state to purchase the fireworks suggests that they may be illegal in the buyer's home state. Lastly, the mention of M-80, a type of illegal firework, or relying on a friend's suggestion without proper verification, further indicates the potential illegality of the fireworks.

    After the fireworks are done, what should you do with them before throwing them in the trash?

    • A.

      Re-light them. Better get your money's worth.

    • B.

      Put them in your neighbor's yard and laugh, their dog is always digging up your flowers anyways.

    • C.

      Soak them in water.

    • D.

      Throw them away?? Leave them there, they will disintegrate.

    Correct Answer
    C. Soak them in water.
    Explanation
    Soaking the fireworks in water before throwing them in the trash is the correct answer because it ensures that any remaining embers or sparks are completely extinguished. Fireworks can still be hot even after they have been used, and throwing them in the trash without soaking them in water can potentially lead to a fire hazard. Soaking them in water is a safe and responsible way to dispose of fireworks.

    You should never ignite fireworks in?

    • A.

      Open spaces

    • B.

      In container

    • C.

    • D.

      In parks

    Correct Answer
    B. In container
    Explanation
    Igniting fireworks in a container can be extremely dangerous as it can lead to a buildup of pressure and cause an explosion. Containers are not designed to handle the heat and force generated by fireworks. It is important to always ignite fireworks in open spaces where there is plenty of ventilation and minimal risk of causing damage or harm to people or property.

      In a cooler in the backseat. Something's in your trunk... don't ask questions.

    • D.

      In the front seat, close enough to the air conditioner.

    Correct Answer(s)
    C. In a cooler in the backseat. Something's in your trunk... don't ask questions.
    D. In the front seat, close enough to the air conditioner.
    Explanation
    The correct answers for transporting the meat to your friend's house are:
    1. In a cooler in the backseat. Something's in your trunk... don't ask questions.
    2. In the front seat, close enough to the air conditioner.

    These options ensure that the meat is kept cool and protected during transportation. Placing it in a cooler in the backseat prevents any potential odor from spreading throughout the car, while keeping it in the front seat close to the air conditioner helps maintain a cool temperature.

    D. Actually it's the temperature where food borne bacteria grows when food is between 40° and 140°F.
    Explanation
    The correct answer explains that the Danger Zone refers to the temperature range between 40°F and 140°F, where foodborne bacteria can grow rapidly. It implies that if food is left within this temperature range for an extended period, it can become unsafe to consume.

    After serving food outdoors, how long is it okay to leave the perishable food out?

    • A.

      Until everyone is full and no longer eating it

    • B.

      2 hours, if over 90°, then one hour

    • C.

    • D.

      Until it smells funny

    Correct Answer
    B. 2 hours, if over 90°, then one hour
    Explanation
    Perishable food should not be left out for more than 2 hours. However, if the temperature is over 90°, the maximum time is reduced to one hour. This is because higher temperatures can promote the growth of bacteria, which can lead to foodborne illnesses. It is important to ensure that perishable food is properly stored and refrigerated to maintain its safety and quality.

    What is the major ingredient in fireworks?

    • A.

      Nickel

    • B.

      Gun powder

    • C.

      Chromium

    • D.

      Cobalt

    Correct Answer
    B. Gun powder
    Explanation
    Gun powder is the major ingredient in fireworks because it contains a mixture of sulfur, charcoal, and potassium nitrate. When ignited, these components undergo a rapid chemical reaction, producing large amounts of gas and heat, which creates the explosive effect and colorful display seen in fireworks. Nickel, chromium, and cobalt are not major ingredients in fireworks and do not contribute to the explosive reaction.

    How many fireworks you should ignite at a time?

    • A.

      One at a time

    • B.

      2 at a time

    • C.

      3-4 at a time

    • D.

      No limit

    Correct Answer
    A. One at a time
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "One at a time" because igniting fireworks one at a time ensures safety and control. Lighting multiple fireworks simultaneously can increase the risk of accidents, as it becomes difficult to manage and monitor each firework. By lighting them one at a time, it allows for better visibility and reduces the chances of mishaps. Additionally, it allows for the enjoyment and appreciation of each firework individually, rather than overwhelming the senses with multiple explosions at once.
