Where can a safe-deposit box be rented?

1. At a credit union

2. At a bank

3. At a post office

4. At a supermarket

The correct answer is: At a bank

A safe-deposit box can be rented at a bank because banks are specifically designed to provide secure storage for valuable items and documents. They have systems in place to ensure safety and security, such as surveillance, strong vaults, and access controls. Renting a safe-deposit box at a bank gives customers peace of mind knowing that their important possessions are protected against theft, fire, or other potential disasters. While other locations, such as credit unions, can also offer safe-deposit boxes, the most common and traditional option is banks, which have built a reputation and infrastructure around this service. Post offices and supermarkets typically do not provide safe-deposit boxes, as their primary functions are different, focusing on delivery services and retail goods, respectively.
