You need to test for electrical safety when conducting an inspection. Which one of the following areas DOES NOT require ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs)?

Living room
Bathroom
Unfinished basement
Crawl space
Garage

Explanation

Answer: A - Living rooms do not require ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs). It is unlikely any outlets in the living room will come into contact with water or other moisture. GFCIs prevent electrical shocks by blocking electricity from reaching the outlet or one of the two sockets when they detect an imbalance in electricity flow. If the interrupter trips the circuit to stop the flow of electricity, it can be turned back on by pushing the GFCI reset button.
