70% to pass

On the all-purpose nozzle, the position of the valve when the handle is all the way forward is _______________.

A fog
B spray
C solid stream
D shut
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) shut. When the handle on an all-purpose nozzle is in the fully forward position, the valve is in the shut or closed position. This allows the nozzle to be shut off completely, stopping the water flow. The other positions - fog, spray, and solid stream - correspond to the different water patterns the nozzle can produce when the valve is open. But with the handle fully forward, the valve is shut, preventing any water from being discharged.
