What maximum height should the Merry-Go-Round sitting surface be for school-age children?

  1. 10 inches

  2. 14 inches

  3. 18 inches

  4. 22 inches

The correct answer is: 18 inches

The maximum height for the Merry-Go-Round sitting surface for school-age children should be 18 inches. This is because 10 inches (option A) would be too low and may not provide enough of a challenge for this age group. 14 inches (option B) may be on the lower end of a suitable height, but 18 inches would provide a more appropriate level of challenge and physical activity for school-age children. 22 inches (option D) may be too high and could pose a safety risk for children playing on the Merry-Go-Round. Therefore, option C, 18 inches, is the best choice for the maximum height of the Merry-Go-Round sitting surface for school-age children.
