Question

hiro does not see a puddle of liquid on the lab table and accidentally touches the liquid. what should hiro do next? he should tell his teacher about the spill and clean it up with paper towels. he should tell his teacher about the spill and rinse his hand in the sink. he should tell the other students and clean up the spill with paper towels. he should tell the other students and rinse his hand in the sink.

Explanation:

In a lab setting, when a student accidentally touches a liquid spill, the appropriate immediate action is to inform the teacher (who has the knowledge and authority to handle lab - related incidents properly). Also, rinsing the hand in the sink is a correct step for personal safety as it helps remove any potentially harmful liquid from the skin. Cleaning up with paper towels (without knowing the nature of the liquid) might not be safe (e.g., if it's a reactive or corrosive liquid), and telling other students instead of the teacher is not the standard procedure as students may not have the proper training to handle lab spills.

Answer:

He should tell his teacher about the spill and rinse his hand in the sink.
