4.
Which of the following can you use to put out a grease fire?
Correct Answer
A. Baking soda
Explanation
Baking soda can be used to put out a grease fire because it is a natural extinguisher for fires. When baking soda is heated, it releases carbon dioxide, which helps to smother the flames by displacing oxygen. This reaction also creates a barrier between the fire and the fuel source, preventing it from spreading. Baking powder, flour, and brown sugar are not effective in extinguishing grease fires and may even make the situation worse by fueling the fire.
5.
A Type C fire extinguisher will put out what type of fire?
Correct Answer
B. Electric
Explanation
A Type C fire extinguisher is specifically designed to put out electrical fires. Electric fires are caused by faulty wiring, overloaded circuits, or electrical equipment malfunctions. These fires cannot be extinguished with water or other types of fire extinguishers as they may conduct electricity and pose a risk of electrocution. A Type C fire extinguisher contains a non-conductive agent, such as carbon dioxide or dry chemical, which can safely extinguish electrical fires by removing the heat and cutting off the oxygen supply.

17.
What is the temperature range of the danger zone
Correct Answer
B. 40-140
Explanation
The temperature range of the danger zone is 40-140 degrees Fahrenheit. This range refers to the temperatures at which bacteria can grow and multiply rapidly in food, increasing the risk of foodborne illnesses. Temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit slow down bacterial growth, while temperatures above 140 degrees Fahrenheit kill most bacteria. Therefore, it is important to keep perishable foods out of the danger zone to ensure food safety.
18.
Which of the following is an improper way to thaw frozen food?
Correct Answer
C. On the counter
