Question

food that is left over from an event, that has been sitting out can ______ be used again.

○ a. always
○ b. sometimes
○ c. never
○ d. and will
○ e. have the top scrapped off and

Explanation:

Food that has been sitting out from an event is at risk of contamination from bacteria, viruses, etc. Even if it looks fine, harmful pathogens could have multiplied. So it's not safe to assume it can always (\(A\)), sometimes (\(B\)), or with just scraping the top (\(E\)) be reused. Saying "and will" (\(D\)) is also incorrect as it's not a guaranteed safe action. The safest practice is to never use such food again to prevent food - borne illnesses.

Answer:

C. never
