Max capacity of residents in a room?

• A. 2
• B. 3
• C. 4
• D. 5

Answer: (C)

The main idea is safety: occupancy limits are set so everyone can move to an exit quickly and have enough space to navigate the room in an emergency. In this room, four residents is the practical maximum because it keeps aisles and paths to the door clear and provides room to move around furniture. If five people were in the room, it would feel crowded, hinder quick evacuation, and could violate safety standards. Two or three would be safe and comfortable, but they don’t reflect the room’s maximum allowed occupancy, which is four.
