Re: Size of dedicated branch circuit
Robert,

You could, all of the above code sections apply, some apply "specifically" and only to that question while other apply on a more broader scale, including to that question - all give the same answer.

Heck, one could even state that that room unit is going to run 3 hours or longer and thus be a "continuous load", in which case 125% of the load is used, also resulting in the need for 20 amp circuit conductors.

Most, if not all, of those sample questions are from the pool of test questions and are question which were weeded out for being flawed (several have been flawed) or for having multiple answers to the same question (meaning multiple code sections producing the same correct answer).
