When do table settings not need to be wrapped or covered?

  1. When they are made of disposable material

  2. When extra table settings are removed when guests are seated and cleaned and sanitized after guests have left

  3. When they are placed on a clean surface

  4. When they are only used for decoration

The correct answer is: When extra table settings are removed when guests are seated and cleaned and sanitized after guests have left

Table settings do not need to be wrapped or covered when extra table settings are removed when guests are seated and cleaned and sanitized after guests have left because this practice ensures that the settings remain clean and sanitary for the next use. Wrapping or covering table settings may be necessary when they are made of disposable material (Option A), placed on a clean surface (Option C), or only used for decoration (Option D) to maintain their cleanliness and protect them from contamination. However, the most important factor in ensuring the cleanliness of table settings is to remove any extra settings promptly, clean and sanitize them after each use.
