Question 1: Which kind of item is typically excluded from a house inspection?

• Not present
• Cosmetic (Correct answer)
• Unsafe
• Defective

Correct answer: Cosmetic

Home inspections typically focus on the structural integrity, safety, and major systems of a house, such as plumbing, electrical, and HVAC. Cosmetic issues, like minor paint chips, small dents, or aesthetic imperfections that do not affect the home's functionality or safety, are generally outside the scope of a standard home inspection report.
