Correct Answer
A) 21 anchor bolts

Why This Is the Correct Answer
Count the spaces along the run, then include the starting item.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option B: 20 anchor bolts
20 anchor bolts is below the supported result for anchor-bolt layout; it likely omits allowance, conversion, coverage, or final round-up.
Option C: 22 anchor bolts
22 anchor bolts is above the supported result for anchor-bolt layout; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.
Option D: 23 anchor bolts
23 anchor bolts is above the supported result for anchor-bolt layout; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.
Memory Technique
