Which of the following is a step in grooming the cabin after deplaning?

• A. Wipe down lavatories
• B. Prepare for next flight
• C. Tidy seat belts
• D. Vacuum the aisles

Answer: (C)

After passengers deplane, grooming the cabin means quickly resetting the seating area so it’s ready for the next flight. Tidy seat belts is the best example because it’s a simple, safety-focused action you can do right away: make sure belts are properly stowed and not dangling, so the seat is neat and safe for the next passengers. Wiping down lavatories and vacuuming aisles are more extensive cleaning tasks that usually fall under post-flight cleaning, while preparing for the next flight is a broader duty that goes beyond a single, immediate cabin reset. So tidying seat belts directly fits the grooming step.
