Bulbs should be planted early in the fall to promote root growth before the arrival of cold weather.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

Planting bulbs early in the fall allows them to establish strong root systems before the onset of cold weather. This is important because once the ground freezes, it becomes difficult for bulbs to grow roots. By planting early, the bulbs have enough time to develop a healthy root system, which in turn helps them survive the winter and ensures better growth and blooming in the spring. Therefore, it is true that bulbs should be planted early in the fall to promote root growth before the arrival of cold weather.

Smoke alarms, whether battery powered or hardwired, should be changed every eight to ten years.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

Smoke alarms, whether battery powered or hardwired, should be changed every eight to ten years. This is because the sensors in smoke alarms can become less sensitive over time, reducing their effectiveness in detecting smoke and alerting occupants to a potential fire. Additionally, the components and batteries in smoke alarms can deteriorate over time, leading to malfunctions or failure. Therefore, it is important to regularly replace smoke alarms to ensure they are functioning properly and providing adequate protection.

Rate this question:
10.

If a smoke alarm is discoloured, it’s most likely time to change it.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

If a smoke alarm is discoloured, it's most likely time to change it. This is because discoloration can be a sign of damage or aging in the smoke alarm. Over time, smoke alarms can accumulate dust, dirt, and other particles, which can cause discoloration. Additionally, exposure to heat or smoke can also cause discoloration. Therefore, if a smoke alarm is discoloured, it indicates that it may no longer be functioning properly and should be replaced to ensure the safety of the premises.
