Why is it important to notify clients when there are receptacles that have reversed polarity?
  1. There is an increased chance of getting shocked.
  2. There is an increased chance of burning out computers.
  3. There is an increased chance major appliances will not work.
  4. There is an increased chance of saving money on electrical bills.
Explanation
Answer: A - It is important to notify clients when there are receptacles that have reversed polarity because there is an increased chance of getting shocked. Shock hazards associated with reversed polarity increase at the point of contact. Appliances will work just fine when plugged in to these receptacles; you need to use a tester to identify receptacles with reversed polarity.
