Your desk chair should be narrow so that you are sitting tightly with pressure applied to your thighs
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The explanation for the answer "False" is that your desk chair should not be narrow. A narrow chair would not provide enough space for you to sit comfortably and could lead to discomfort or pain. It is important to have a chair that is wide enough to support your body and allow for proper circulation. Sitting tightly with pressure applied to your thighs can restrict blood flow and cause discomfort or numbness. Therefore, a narrow chair is not recommended.Rate this question:

Back and Neck Pressure
- B.
Shoulder shrug
- C.

This can lead to discomfort and pain in the back and neck area.Rate this question:
