Water can be diverted away from valuable belongings by using a:

• A. Catch basin
• B. Water chute
• C. Floor runner
• D. Catch all

Answer: (B)

Redirecting water flow away from valuables is the key idea. A water chute acts as a channel that guides water from the affected area toward a safe exit point, such as a drain or outside, creating a controlled path and reducing contact with belongings. This active diversion helps keep items dry by moving the water away quickly rather than letting it pool where valuables are stored.

A catch basin is designed to collect water at a low spot, but it doesn’t steer the flow away from valuables—if water overruns, valuables can still be exposed. A floor runner protects surfaces but doesn’t change the direction of water flow. A catch all is just a container or general receptacle and isn’t a mechanism for diverting water.
