Question

what is the purpose of slip - resistant footwear in a restaurant setting?
a. fashion preference
b. comfort
c. prevention of slips and falls
d. air circulation

Explanation:

Slip - resistant footwear is designed to have better traction. In a restaurant setting, there may be spills (e.g., from food, drinks) on the floor which can make the surface slippery. The main function of such footwear is to prevent slips and falls. Fashion preference (A) is not the main purpose as the design focuses on functionality. Comfort (B) could be a secondary aspect but not the core purpose. Air circulation (D) is related to ventilation in the shoe and not relevant to the'slip - resistant' feature.

Answer:

C. Prevention of slips and falls
