The surface of a Merry-Go-Round platform should not have openings that allow a rod with what diameter to penetrate completely through surface?

  1. 1/4 inch

  2. 5/16 inch

  3. 3/8 inch

  4. 1/2 inch

The correct answer is: 5/16 inch

A rod with a diameter of 1/4 inch would be too narrow and may not provide enough stability or support for the merry-go-round platform. 5/16 inch would be the ideal size for the rod as it is thick enough to provide stability but not too thick to cause potential issues with installation. 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch are both too thick and may not fit through the openings or may cause damage to the platform.
