    A piece of metal or an electrical conductor used to bypass a safety device in an electrical system.

    • A.

      By pass device

    • B.

      Jumper

    • C.

      Fuse

    Correct Answer
    B. Jumper
    Explanation
    A jumper is a piece of metal or an electrical conductor that is used to bypass a safety device in an electrical system. It allows the current to flow through the circuit without going through the safety device, such as a fuse. This can be done intentionally in certain situations where the safety device is temporarily disabled for testing or troubleshooting purposes. However, it is important to note that bypassing safety devices should only be done by trained professionals and with caution, as it can pose serious risks and lead to electrical hazards if not done properly.

    Use of one or more electrical appliances or devices which draw or consume electrical current beyond the designed capacity of the existing electrical system.

    • A.

      Overloading

    • B.

      Underloading

    • C.

      Loading

    Correct Answer
    A. Overloading
    Explanation
    Overloading refers to the use of one or more electrical appliances or devices that draw or consume electrical current beyond the designed capacity of the existing electrical system. This can lead to overheating, circuit breakers tripping, and potential damage to the electrical system. It is important to ensure that the electrical load is properly distributed and does not exceed the capacity of the system to prevent overloading.

    The person who holds the legal right of possession or title to a building or real property.

    • A.

      Occupant

    • B.

      Chief of police

    • C.

      Owner

    • D.

      Beaureu of Fire protection

    Correct Answer
    C. Owner
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "owner" because the owner is the person who holds the legal right of possession or title to a building or real property. The owner has the authority to control and make decisions about the property, including who can occupy it. The other options, such as occupant, chief of police, and Bureau of Fire Protection, do not necessarily have the legal right of possession or title to the property.

    Rate this question:

  • 42. 

    A material that readily yields oxygen in quantities sufficient to stimulate or support combustion.

    • A.

      Oxide Material

    • B.

      Combustive material

    • C.

      Oxidizing Material

    • D.

      Peroxide Material

    Correct Answer
    C. Oxidizing Material
    Explanation
    An oxidizing material is a substance that readily releases oxygen in sufficient quantities to support combustion. This means that it can provide the necessary oxygen for a fire to burn and sustain itself. Oxide materials, combustive materials, and peroxide materials may not necessarily have this property, so they are not the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 43. 

    Type or burner where the fuel is subjected to pressure prior to discharge into the combustion chamber and/or which includes fans or other provisions for the introduction of air at above normal atmosphere pressure into the same combustion chamber.

    • A.

      Pressurized burner equipment

    • B.

      Pressurized Or Forced Draft Burning Equipment

    • C.

      Combustion Chamber equipment

    Correct Answer
    B. Pressurized Or Forced Draft Burning Equipment
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Pressurized Or Forced Draft Burning Equipment." This is because the question is asking for the type of burner where the fuel is subjected to pressure prior to discharge into the combustion chamber. Pressurized or forced draft burning equipment refers to burners that use fans or other provisions to introduce air at above normal atmospheric pressure into the combustion chamber. This helps to ensure efficient combustion and better control of the combustion process.

    • B.

      Public Assembly Building

    • C.

      Assembly

    Correct Answer
    B. Public Assembly Building
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Public Assembly Building" because it refers to any building or structure where fifty or more people gather or assemble for any purpose. This term is used to distinguish it from a private assembly building, which would be a building where fewer than fifty people gather.

    • C.

      Public alley

    • D.

      Public hi-way

    Correct Answer
    A. Public way
    Explanation
    The given definition describes a public space that is accessible to the public and is not obstructed from the ground to the sky. This can include streets, alleys, or any other strip of land that is dedicated or permanently allocated for public use. Therefore, the correct answer is "public way."

    Descriptive of any substance that ignites spontaneously when exposed to air.

    • A.

      Hypegolic

    • B.

      Electric arc

    • C.

      Refining

    • D.

      Pyrophoric

    Correct Answer
    D. PyropHoric
    Explanation
    Pyrophoric is the correct answer because it describes a substance that ignites spontaneously when exposed to air. This means that when a pyrophoric substance comes into contact with oxygen in the air, it will ignite without the need for an external ignition source. The term "hypegolic" refers to a type of propellant that ignites upon contact with another specific substance, so it is not the correct answer. "Electric arc" refers to a type of electrical discharge, and "refining" is the process of purifying a substance, neither of which are related to spontaneous ignition.

    Automatic closing doors that are designed to confine smoke and heat and delay the spread of fire.

    • A.

      Safety Door

    • B.

      Automatic Door

    • C.

      Self-Closing Doors

    • D.

      Panic hardware

    Correct Answer
    C. Self-Closing Doors
    Explanation
    Self-closing doors are designed to automatically close after being opened, ensuring that they are always closed and providing a barrier against the spread of fire, smoke, and heat. These doors are an important safety feature in buildings as they help to confine the fire and delay its spread, allowing occupants more time to evacuate safely. Panic hardware, automatic doors, and safety doors may have different functions or features, but self-closing doors specifically address the need for fire safety by automatically closing to prevent the spread of fire and smoke.

    Melting or fusing of metallic ores or compounds so as to separate impurities from pure metals.

    • A.

      Pyrophoric

    • B.

      Melting fusion

    • C.

      Smelting

    • D.

      Hypegolic

    Correct Answer
    C. Smelting
    Explanation
    Smelting refers to the process of melting or fusing metallic ores or compounds in order to separate impurities from pure metals. This process is commonly used in the extraction of metals from their ores. By heating the ore to a high temperature, the impurities are separated and removed, leaving behind the pure metal. Smelting is an important step in the production of metals and is widely used in industries such as mining and metallurgy.

    • B.

      Fire Suppression System

    • C.

      Fire Foam System

    Correct Answer
    A. Sprinkler System
    Explanation
    The given description mentions a network of piping installed in a building with outlets arranged in a systematic pattern. This system automatically discharges water when activated by heat or combustion products from a fire. This description matches the characteristics of a sprinkler system, which is designed to suppress or control fires by spraying water over the affected area. Therefore, the correct answer is a sprinkler system.
