Your U$.$S$.-$based company has recently purchased an old office building where employees are being assigned to work. As you are setting up the employees' desktop computers, you come to one location where the nearest wall outlet has only two prongs. All of the metal$-$enclosed desktop computers have three$-$prong cords.

Which of the following is the BEST way to proceed with that particular desktop computer?

answer

Get a new power cord with two prongs to match the wall outlet.

Find a different outlet that uses three prongs.

Use the existing cord, but remove the grounding prong, as it is not required.

Purchase an adapter that converts the three$-$prong cable to two prongs.
