   Focus on safety thresholds for cranes.

4. 4.

   True or False: A versatile machine can only be used for a single specific task.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about adaptability in machinery.

5. 5.

   You are tasked with designing a site plan for excavating and transporting earth. Given a high wind forecast, what contingency measures should you prepare regarding machinery?

   Hint
