Question

requirements for new windows
new windows must meet specific safety requirements and codes. municipalities codes vary, but one common rule is that bedroom windows must allow for egress in case of emergency.
new windows must have a minimum height of 20 inches and a minimum width of 24 inches. the sill must not be higher than 44 inches from the floor. in addition to these requirements, windows that swing open must be able to swing open wide enough for a person to fit through.
if the new window is a basement window, the window well must be large enough for a person to move around in it. it may also require a ladder to help a person climb out of the window well.
you work for contact construction company and are installing a new window. what is the meaning of the word egress as it is used in the document?
a way to lock
a way to break
a way to protect
a way to exit
a way to close

Explanation:

The document states that bedroom windows must allow for egress in case of emergency. Also, windows must swing open wide enough for a person to fit through, and basement windows need to let people climb out. This implies "egress" is about exiting. Other options (lock, break, protect, close) don't match the emergency - related need to get out.

Answer:

D. a way to exit
