Humber/Ontario Real Estate Course 2 Exam Practice

Owner Davis is considering whether to build a carport or a garage for his new farmhouse. Which is accurate regarding construction options?

1. A significant benefit of a detached garage is the lower cost compared to other garages.

2. A built-in garage provides easier installation of utilities like electrical and water lines.

3. A carport offers increased security for a vehicle compared to other options.

4. A detached garage is generally cheaper and easier to heat in winter.

5. A carport increases the overall property value more than a garage.

6. A carport offers better weather protection than a garage.

The correct answer is: A built-in garage provides easier installation of utilities like electrical and water lines.

The correct answer is B. A built-in garage provides easier installation of utilities like electrical and water lines. This is because a built-in garage is designed as part of the house structure, allowing for easier integration of utilities during the initial construction phase. Option A is incorrect because typically detached garages involve extra construction costs compared to attached garages due to the need for a separate structure. Option C is incorrect because a carport, by definition, is an open structure without walls, so it does not offer the same level of security as a garage. Option D is incorrect because detached garages may not be easier to heat in the winter compared to attached garages, as detached structures can lose heat more easily. Option E is incorrect as typically a garage adds more value to a property compared to a carport due to the additional living or storage space it provides. Option F is incorrect because a garage provides better weather protection for vehicles compared to a carport, which is open on at least one or more sides.
