A board about 3' square where mortar is placed and ready for the use of the bricklayer is called a?

  1. Brickboard

  2. Mixboard

  3. Mortarboard

  4. Spreadboard

The correct answer is: Brickboard

A brickboard is often used by bricklayers to store and hold mortar while working on a project. The board has the capacity to hold a sufficient amount of mortar for multiple bricks to be laid without replenishing the mortar. This allows for a more efficient and continuous workflow for the bricklayer. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the purpose of the board or the materials it holds. A mixboard would typically be used for mixing mortar or other materials, a mortarboard is a type of academic cap, and a spreadboard does not accurately describe the function of the board for holding mortar.
