Which of the following load combination is not considered for design of roof trusses?

Which of the following load combination is not considered for design of roof trusses? Correct Answer Dead load + earthquake load

Earthquake loads are not significant for roof trusses because of the small self weights. The following load combinations can be considered : (i) Dead load + snow load, (ii) Dead load + partial/full live load, (iii) dead load + live load + internal positive air pressure, (iv) dead load + live load + internal suction air pressure, (v) dead load + live load + wind load.
