Bone-yard describes an area for unloading and storing materials.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. It describes an area for administrative offices
• D. It describes a temporary staging area for tools

Answer: (B)

A bone-yard is a storage area for scrap, damaged, or obsolete materials and equipment kept aside from active inventory. It is not used for unloading or storing new materials, which is what the statement implies. The place for unloading and storing new materials is typically a lay-down or stockyard near the loading area. Administrative offices and a tool staging area are separate spaces, so those options don’t fit either. That’s why the statement is false.
