Answer 8

Based on the passage, in-house laundry setups in hotels and hospitals handle the laundry requirements within the organization. However, some smaller hotels may have link-ups with commercial laundries, not as a general rule for all institutions. This makes statement (4) incorrect with regard to the in-house laundry set-ups, as not all institutions have commercial laundry link-ups.

The correct answer to the question is (D): They have link-ups with commercial laundries.

Answer 9

In-house laundry set-ups operate within the organization and are responsible for washing and finishing the organization’s laundry, including items like uniforms, bed linens, and other linens. They typically do not have link-ups with commercial laundries, as their purpose is to manage all laundry needs internally.
