Which statement correctly orders the two standard metal shoring models from shortest to longest?

• A. 3-5 ft; 6-11 ft
• B. 6-11 ft; 3-5 ft
• C. 1-3 ft; 3-5 ft
• D. 5-7 ft; 7-12 ft

Answer: (A)

When dealing with metal shoring, the numbers show how far the shore can extend. The two standard models cover these working lengths: one model extends from 3 to 5 feet, and the other from 6 to 11 feet. To list them from shortest to longest, you start with the 3-5 foot model, then the 6-11 foot model. In practice, you choose the shorter range for smaller gaps and the longer range for larger spans, ensuring the shore can be placed securely and carry the required load.
