Question 39

Complete the prohibition with must not or its contraction and the exact verb in brackets: The powder is toxic and handling it is forbidden, so interns ___ it without sealed gloves. (touch)

Correct answer

  • must not touch
  • mustn't touch
  • mustn’t touch

Explanation

Must not touch and mustn't touch both express the explicit prohibition created by the toxic hazard. Do not have to touch merely removes a requirement, while handle would replace the exact lexical verb prescribed by the prompt.
