    Your answer is incorrect. A slurry wall is not a type of sheeting. The term "sheeting" only applies to a shoring wall when large, sheet piles made of corrugated steel are placed in an interlocking configuration. A slurry wall does not use sheet steel.

    If you've read Kaplan, lesson 2 has a description of slurry wall as a type of sheeting. An additional description in this question should include that after competing excavation of the trench, reinforcing steel and concrete is placed and the slurry is pumped out.
