The correct answer is A because Hannah explains that beam bridges work for short crossings but begin to sag when the distance becomes too great.

Associated Text:
beam bridges are best for short, straight crossings, once the span gets too long, the beam starts to sag in the middle

The correct answer is D because Hannah explains that the curved form of an arch sends the force sideways into the end supports.

Associated Text:
The arch forms a curve which transfers the weight outwards to abutments at each end.

The correct answer is C because Marcus explains that truss bridges get their strength from triangular sections of iron or steel.

Associated Text:
They're built from interlocking triangular sections of iron or steel, and the triangles are what give them their strength,

The correct answer is B because Marcus explains that suspension bridges carry the road deck using cables supported by towers.

Associated Text:
The road deck hangs from cables that are slung from tall towers on either side, and the cables themselves are anchored into the ground at each end.

The correct answer is E because Hannah explains that cantilever bridges use two projecting arms that extend from opposite sides and meet.

Associated Text:
They're built so that two arms, called cantilevers, extend out from the anchorages on each shore until they meet in the middle.

The correct answer is E because the first preparation step is reviewing the bridge's history records before visiting the site.

Associated Text:
The team starts by reviewing the bridge's history records, the original drawings, the design calculations, every previous inspection, every repair.

The correct answer is C because stress sensors are attached to record vibration as traffic crosses the bridge.

Associated Text:
Then stress sensors are attached to record the level of vibration as traffic crosses the bridge.

The correct answer is A because the extracted concrete samples are tested for corrosion in the steel reinforcement.

Associated Text:
The samples are then tested for signs of corrosion in the steel reinforcement.
