1. wearing gloves can keep food safe by:

\ta) creating a barrier between what is on your hands and the food
\tb) deactivating the germs, so they can no longer transfer onto food
\tc) reducing the number of times you have to your wash hands
\td) keeping hands and under the fingernails from getting dirty

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Gloves act as a physical barrier, preventing contaminants on hands (like germs, dirt) from contacting food, which is a key way to keep food safe.
• Option b: Gloves don't deactivate germs; they just prevent transfer, so this is incorrect.
• Option c: Wearing gloves doesn't reduce hand - washing needs (hands still need washing before/after glove use, etc.), so this is wrong.
• Option d: The main purpose of gloves for food safety isn't to keep hands/nails clean, but to protect food, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

a) Creating a barrier between what is on your hands and the food
