At no point along the floor line, in any wall space, can you be more than ____ from a receptacle outlet.

• A. 4 feet
• B. 5 feet
• C. 6 feet
• D. 7 feet

Answer: (C)

The distance rule being tested is about how receptacle outlets are spaced along walls to ensure easy electrical access. The standard states that no point along the floor line is more than six feet from a receptacle, so you’re never more than a short step away from an outlet. This keeps you from needing extension cords and aligns with typical electrical code requirements. Six feet is the right distance because it provides convenient reach while avoiding unnecessary clutter or too many outlets. Distances shorter than six feet would be more than needed, while a distance of seven feet would allow a point to exist that’s too far from any outlet, violating the rule.
