What is the minimum number of exits required for a public assembly building with a capacity of 1,000 people?

  1. 1

  2. 2

  3. 3

  4. 4

The correct answer is: 2

A public assembly building with a capacity of 1,000 people must have at least two exits in case of an emergency evacuation. Option A is incorrect because one exit may not be enough to safely evacuate a large group of people. Option C and D are incorrect as they suggest three or more exits, which is not the minimum requirement. Hence, the minimum number of exits required is two, making option B the correct answer.
