What is the first procedure before installing vertical solid wood wainscoting?

Strap wall first then apply vertical members.
Apply vertical members directly to wall with PL 400 and face nail at every stud.
Pre-mount the solid wood wainscoting on a piece of plywood and glue to wall in sections.
Strap the wall horizontally and shim to achieve a flat plane before installing vertical members.

The correct answer is: Strap the wall horizontally and shim to achieve a flat plane before installing vertical members.

Before installing vertical solid wood wainscoting, the first procedure is to ensure that the wall is flat and level. This requires strapping the wall horizontally and using shims to achieve a flat plane before installing the vertical members. This ensures that the wainscoting will be properly aligned and installed securely. Option A is incorrect because strapping the wall should be done horizontally and not vertically. Option B may not provide enough support for the wainscoting and may result in it becoming loose over time. Option C may not be as secure as directly attaching the vertical members to the wall.
