Question No. 8: What is the predominant material in the floor of this dwelling?

What is wanted with this question is the predominant material of which the floors of the dwelling are built.
It refers to the material of the majority of the floors of the rooms of the dwelling. It is considered earthen floor when in the interior of the structure there has not been any improvement to the earth in its original state.
This question is concerned with the material of the majority of the floor of the rooms of the dwelling.
One should not look only at the material of the floor in the living room because in some dwellings this floor is different than the material of the rest of the rooms.
Mark a single circle according to the type of material that the largest part of the floor of the dwelling is built with, according to the response of the person.
