Which of the following is/are true about risk assessment?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Begin by identifying what each option is asserting about risk assessment, so you can compare them carefully.
Option 1: "Which of the following is/are true about risk assessment?" This is a meta-question prompt rather than a factual assertion about risk assessment. It does not state a claim about risk assessment content itself, so as a standalone factual statement it is not evaluating a specific aspect of risk assessment. In many exams this option appears as the stem rather than a propositional claim; as written, it’s not a descriptive claim to judge true or false.
Option 2: "You need to know what the hazard is and how much is around." This aligns with core risk assessment practice: identifying the hazard and estimating exposure or extent of presence. It is a valid and essential component because understanding the hazard and its quantity informs the likelihood and severity of risk.
Option 3: "You need to know who is exposed and how" This reflects the exposure assessment portion of risk assessment: who is at risk and the route, duration, and intensity of exposure. Recognizing the affected populations and exposure pathways is fundamental to assessing risk accurately.
Option 4: "All of the above." If you interpret option 1 as broadly indicating that the question concerns true statements about risk assessment, and you accept that options 2 and 3 are correct elements of risk assessment, then option 4 aggregates these ideas as a comprehensive true statement. In many exam designs, selecting all relevant true statements is appropriate when 2 and 3 are true and 1 is considered a permissible framing of the prompt. Therefore, option 4 can be seen as a correct choice when the other included substantive statements (2 and 3) are true and the meta-statement in 1 is treated as acceptable within the question structure.
Putting it together, the reasoning supports the idea that selecting option 4 encompasses the valid components of risk assessment (hazard identification, exposure quantity, and exposed individuals with their exposure), which is why some test designs mark "All of the above" as the correct answer. The alternative options 2 and 3 individually describe true, essential elements, while option 1 functions more as a prompt than a substantive claim, making option 4 the inclusive correct choice in this item format.
