Sliding poles should be continuous without what?

Protruding welds or seams
Direction changes
Color variations
Interrupted surfaces

The correct answer is: Protruding welds or seams

Poles that slide against each other should have a smooth surface to prevent any unexpected friction or resistance that could damage the poles or cause injuries. Options B, C and D do not address the issue of protruding welds or seams, which are problematic as they can cause a sudden stop or change in direction, resulting in unpredictable movements and potential accidents. Option B only mentions direction changes, which could be controlled and gradual, unlike protruding welds or seams. Option C discusses color variations, which are unrelated to the structural integrity or functionality of the poles. Option D mentions interrupted surfaces, which are also not directly related to the smoothness or continuity of the poles. Therefore, option A is the correct answer as it provides the most relevant and specific concern regarding the positioning of the poles.
