Question

1. you are inspecting this home just after a heavy rain. what would you say about this situation?

the downspout is leaking
the ground should be re - sloped
the gutter is leaking
the plants are too close to the home
a downspout extension should be provided

Explanation:

After heavy rain, water pooling near the home's foundation (as seen in the image) suggests that the downspout's water isn't being directed far enough from the home. A downspout extension would carry the water further away, preventing pooling. Other options: downspout leaking would show water along the downspout, re - sloping is a broader fix (pooling here is likely due to lack of extension), gutter leaking is different, and plant distance isn't related to water pooling.

Answer:

E. A downspout extension should be provided
