1. Where should the top line of the monitor sit?
Why these answers are correct
Every question below is taken from a step in How to Set Up an Ergonomic Desk and Fix Your Sitting Posture (19-Step Guide). The explanation names the rule the step applies, so a wrong answer points to the exact part of the guide to reread.
1. Where should the top line of the monitor sit?
Answer: A. Level with your eyebrows, so your gaze falls slightly downward
A downward gaze of ten to fifteen degrees keeps the neck in neutral. Looking up at a low screen is what pulls the head forward and shortens the neck extensors.
2. How is the chair height set, and what do you do if your feet no longer reach the floor?
Answer: D. Low enough that hips sit just above the knees, with thighs roughly parallel to the floor
Thighs level with the floor spread the load through the sitting bones. If that leaves the feet unsupported, the guide adds a footrest rather than raising the seat.
3. What viewing distance does the guide aim for?
Answer: B. About 50-70 cm, roughly where your fingertips just brush the display with elbows bent
The fingertip check is a measurement you always have with you, and it keeps the eyes close enough to read without the head drifting forward.
4. How often does the guide recommend breaking up sitting?
Answer: C. Two to three minutes of walking every 30 minutes
Frequent light movement beats one long break: it restores circulation and lets the spine change position before any tissue has been loaded in one shape for too long.
5. Which desk-related symptom does the guide say should send you to a clinician rather than a new chair?
Answer: A. Pain that shoots down a leg, or numbness, pins and needles or real weakness
Radiating pain and neurological signs point at a nerve, not at posture habits. Those need a diagnosis, and adjusting the chair will not resolve them.
