Which floor besides the first floor is noted as having carpet?

• A. Second floor
• B. Basement
• C. Third floor
• D. Attic

Answer: (A)

Understanding how floor coverings influence movement and safety is being tested. Carpet changes traction, cushion, and balance demands, so an environmental description often notes which levels have carpet. If the only floors listed as having carpet are the first level and another level, the other level with carpet must be the second floor. This matters in OT assessment because carpet affects gait, stability, and speed when negotiating stairs or moving between spaces. Basements and attics are typically not carpeted (often concrete, unfinished, or different materials), and a third floor would be identified if it had carpet; since those aren’t described as carpeted, the implied additional level with carpet is the second floor.
