select the best answer: a person is walking through a room. what should they look out for that might cause a slip?

• cords or cables lying on the floor
• a slick surface
• cracked tiles or worn rugs
• objects sticking out at knee or ankle level

Explanation:

To determine what causes a slip, we analyze each option:

• "Cords or cables" cause tripping, not slipping.
• "A slick surface" (like wet or polished floors) reduces friction, directly leading to slipping.
• "Cracked tiles/worn rugs" cause tripping or uneven footing, not slipping.
• "Objects at knee/ankle level" cause tripping or collisions, not slipping.

Answer:

B. A slick surface (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D with A as "Cords or cables...", B as "A slick surface", C as "Cracked tiles...", D as "Objects...")
