Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: d, c, b, a, e, f
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
This problem asks you to order parts of a building process in a way that respects real-world dependencies. A room becomes usable only after structural and enclosure steps happen in a sensible sequence that construction sites follow for safety, accuracy, and cost control.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Use prerequisite logic: without a foundation nothing can stand; the floor ties into the base; walls stand on the structural base; windows cannot be fitted before walls exist; roof usually caps the enclosure; only then do we have a completed room. Hence: Foundation -> Floor -> Walls -> Windows -> Roof -> Room.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1: Lay foundation (d).Step 2: Construct/finish the floor (c).Step 3: Build walls (b).Step 4: Install windows (a).Step 5: Add the roof (e).Step 6: The result is a completed room (f).
Verification / Alternative check:
Site method statements and standard building sequencing place foundations and slabs before masonry, then openings, then roofing. This prevents rework and structural instability.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Mixing up “what is visible first” with “what must come first.” Foundations and slabs are less visible later but absolutely precede everything. Window fitting always depends on finished openings.
Final Answer:
d, c, b, a, e, f
