7Screed rails or battens are used to:
- Ahelp delivery of screed material to the workstation

- C tamp down the surface of the screed
- Dform channels for drainage
8The purpose of a damp proof membrane is to:

9Cracking of large area floors may be reduced by:
- Ause of more cement
- Buse of expansion strips
- Cadding more sand

12The correct consistency for floor screeding materials is:
- Aas dry as possible
- Bslurry like
- Csemi wet
