Question

A teacher gave the lab group shown below an “unsafe practice” warning. What is most likely the basis for the teacher’s warning? None of the students are dressed in appropriate laboratory attire. Two of the students have not tied back their long, loose hair. The lab group has not labeled all the flasks that contain liquid. The opening of the flask is pointed in an unsafe direction.

Answer 1

Answer:

It is "The opening of flask is pointed in an unsafe direction"

Explanation:

The students were there in the lab to perform practical without obeying the safety rules. The most  reasonable basis for teacher's warning here, in this case, is the flask which is pointed in an unsafe  direction. It is not specified whether the flask is containing any chemical or not but even if it is empty, it  might just fall and break and create injury to anyone present in the lab because, the students are also not  wearing proper laboratory wear in accordance to the safety rules which include lab coats, gloves,  eyewear, etc. Also, some Students have not tied their hair and more importantly the flasks carrying  liquids are not labeled. All of these things might end up in a critical situation for which the teacher warned  students about it all.
