1 Cross contamination is any connection between potable water and a source of contamination, such as answer (a) “a faucet spout below a flood rim”.
2 resistive force (the soil exerts lateral earth pressure; the foundation resists it for a sidewall, a reactive force. For a footing soil pressure up is balanced by the weight of the foundation down. Rankine’s theory and refinements refer to and calculate active and passive pressures for given soil conditions).

4 c & e (if you find bacon on your k&t something is seriously wrong.)
