A masonry chimney should be braced with horizontal metal straps every few feet against the structure and into reinforced points such as wall studs to stabilize the chimney from the shaking force of an earthquake. a. True
b. False

True

Explanation:

The statement that "a masonry chimney should be braced with horizontal metal straps every few feet against the structure and into reinforced points such as wall studs to stabilize the chimney from the shaking force of an earthquake" is true.

In a scenario whereby the chimney isn't braced with the horizontal metal straps every few feet, this can lead to its collapse in case of an earthquake. Therefore, the correct option is "true".
