70% to pass

When the handle of an all-purpose nozzle is in the forward position, the nozzle will _______________.

A produce high-velocity fog
B shut off the water
C produce low-velocity fog
D produce a straight stream
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) shut off the water. When the handle of an all-purpose nozzle is in the forward position, it is designed to shut off the water flow completely. This is a safety feature that allows the user to easily stop the water flow when needed, such as in an emergency or when adjusting the nozzle position. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) the nozzle would not produce high-velocity fog in the forward position, C) it would not produce low-velocity fog, and D) it would not produce a straight stream - the water flow would be completely shut off.
