In Winters Manor, irons may be stored on which surface?

• A. Sink countertop
• B. Granite counter next to micro-fridge
• C. Top of refrigerator
• D. In a drawer

Answer: (B)

The key idea is choosing a surface that can safely handle a hot iron: it should be heat-resistant, stable, and not near water or flammable substitutes. Granite counters fit that need well. They’re heat resistant and unlikely to scorch or melt, providing a flat, sturdy spot to rest a hot iron after use. Keeping the iron on a granite counter near the micro-fridge gives you a safe, accessible place to pause between ironing tasks without risking burns, spills, or tipping.

By comparison, a sink countertop introduces water and electrical mix risks, top of a refrigerator is often unstable or prone to being bumped, and a drawer isn’t a safe rest area for a hot appliance due to heat buildup and restricted airflow. So the granite counter next to the micro-fridge is the best surface for storing the iron. Remember to unplug and allow the iron to cool before placing it there.
