- B.
  
  3000 ft
- C.
  
  1000 ft
- D.
  
  1300 ft
Correct Answer
A. 1700 ft

Explanation
The maximum height for an elevator is 1700 ft. This means that the elevator can travel up to a height of 1700 ft from its starting point. Elevators are designed to transport people or goods between different floors or levels in a building, and the maximum height limit is determined by factors such as the strength and stability of the elevator system, safety regulations, and the height of the building itself. In this case, out of the given options, 1700 ft is the highest value, indicating the maximum height that an elevator can reach.

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The statement is true because it is a safety requirement for elevators to have their weight capacity clearly displayed on both the front and rear panels. This is important information for users to know in order to prevent overloading the elevator, which could potentially lead to accidents or malfunctions. By having the weight capacity clearly displayed, it ensures that users are aware of the maximum weight limit and can make informed decisions about using the elevator safely.

Explanation
A seismic switch is a safety device that is put in place in case of an earthquake. It is designed to detect the vibrations caused by an earthquake and trigger an automatic response, such as shutting off gas or electricity supply, activating emergency alarms, or initiating evacuation procedures. This switch helps to mitigate the potential risks and damages associated with earthquakes by providing an early warning system and enabling swift and appropriate actions to ensure the safety of individuals and minimize property damage.

- C.
  
  Keep the car doors from slamming shut.
- D.
  
  Keep the car from reaching dangerous speeds
Correct Answer
B. Stop a descending car beyond its normal limit of travel by absorbing the impact.

Explanation
A bumper is designed to stop a descending car beyond its normal limit of travel by absorbing the impact. This means that if a car is descending in an elevator shaft and reaches a point where it would normally stop, the bumper will absorb the impact and prevent the car from going any further. This is an important safety feature that helps to prevent accidents and protect the car and its occupants from harm.
