Ignore these systems entirely, focusing only on the structure of the building

Question 2: How should you interpret "electrical symbols" in blueprints for proper installation of electrical systems?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Electrical symbols are not necessary for carpentry work and can be ignored

Electrical symbols only show where lighting fixtures should go, not outlets
