Question 1: When preparing a concrete base for a floor, what is the recommended compaction method to ensure proper strength?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Use a hand tamper for small areas

Use a mechanical plate compactor

Use a rake to level the surface

Use water to saturate the base

Question 2: What is the correct approach when installing tile floors in a room with radiant heating?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Avoiding radiant heat systems altogether

Installing tiles without adhesive to prevent cracking

Using thick mortar to increase insulation

Question 3: How does moisture affect the adhesion of floor tiles?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It has no effect on tile adhesion if the correct adhesive is used

It only affects wall tile installation, not floor tiles

It improves the bond between the adhesive and tile

Excess moisture can weaken the bond between the adhesive and tile, leading to tile failure
