Smile Can someone provide the right answer?

You my prof. just grades the work without letting us know the right answer. Can somebody provide the right answer for me so i know and learn. you are inspecting a bungalow built in the 1950s.
  1. The basement walls are visible in Photo 4.
  2. On the main floor, there are 3" diameter holes drilled into the plaster, seen in Photos 2 and 3.
  3. You look into the attic space from the access hatch and see the insulation in Photo 1.

Write a report conforming to section 11 of the Standards of Practice, including visible defects, any implications and recommendations for improvements. Identify which improvements would be considered discretionary versus being a priority

Home inspection exams should all be proctored for obvious reasons!

If Sarkis ever becomes a home inspector it's good to know that Google will find all his posts.

It doesn't sound like an exam question if you ask me. Sounds more like a homework assignment, one I would also be unable to complete given the information that was given.

My recommendation is to find a new professor. One that reveals the correct answer so that you can learn. Home inspector exams (especially closed-book, proctored ones) teach nothing.

Also, demand that your tuition be refunded.
