Question

1. we are looking at a steel lintel over a large window. the arrow points to the end of a steel lintel. what would you report? 1 lintel is showing superficial rust and should be painted there are no weep holes in the masonry joints above the lintel the gap at the end of the lintel should be filled the lintel is too short

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• "Lintel is showing superficial rust and should be painted": The image doesn't show rust, so this is incorrect.
• "There are no weep holes in the masonry joints above the lintel": The question is about the end of the lintel, not weep holes, so this is irrelevant.
• "The gap at the end of the lintel should be filled": The image shows a gap at the end, but the key issue is the lintel's length.
• "The lintel is too short": The lintel doesn't extend properly to the brick, indicating it's too short (critical for structural support), making this the best choice.

Answer:

D. The lintel is too short
