Question

_______ is the type of wall which consists of two separate walls with a gap in between them.

(a) Partition wall

(b) Cavity wall

(c) Party wall

(d) Separating wall

I got this question in an online interview.

I'd like to ask this question from Cavity Walls in chapter Cavity Walls & Partition Walls of Construction & Building Materials

Answer 1

Right choice is (b) Cavity wall

The explanation is: Partition walls are built to divide the space within the building. Cavity walls are the walls which consist of two separate walls with a gap in between them. Party walls separate adjacent buildings occupied by different owners and separating walls separate different residencies within the same building.
