Question

memo
to: new employees
re: procedures
with proper tools, a multilayered roof can be stripped following this procedure:

• place the pry bar under the shingles down to the plywood decking. locate the nails holding the shingles in place. use a hammer to force the sharp end of the bar around each nail. pry up the nails, and remove the shingles.
• use a roofing shingle shovel to wrench under any remaining debris, scraping below the debris until the shovel can no longer move (this means you’ve hit a nail). use the shovel in a similar way to a level to remove these nails.
• using the pry bar and hammer, remove any spoiled

you are a new employee at a roofing company as used in the memo, protrusions means:

• wood panels.
• parts sticking out.
• holes or punctures.
• specialized shingles.
• parts in a different color.

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "protrusions" in the roofing context, we analyze the options. The memo describes removing shingles and nails, so "protrusions" should relate to parts sticking out (like nails or shingle parts that stick out). Other options (wood panels, holes, specialized shingles, different color parts) don't fit the procedure of removing nails/shingles.

Answer:

B. parts sticking out.
