Red Seal Carpenter Practice Exam

When applying baseboard at locations with different elevations such as carpet and linoleum, using mitre joints is the most proper method. Option A is incorrect because scribing the baseboard over the carpet line can result in an uneven or jagged edge. Option C is incorrect because cutting a bevel cut on the baseboard may not result in a clean or precise joint. Option D is incorrect because cutting the carpet back will not necessarily ensure that the baseboard is at the same elevation as the linoleum. Mitre joints allow for a clean and precise joint between the two different elevations, making it the best option for this scenario.
