Question

    Choose the option that provides the most appropriate and contextually fitting word for each blank.

    Mary is allergic to peanuts, so she always checks food labels to avoid any ___________ exposure.

    A accidental Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B purpose Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C intentionally Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D duly Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E affect Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Purpose: Doesn't make sense in this context, as Mary isn't actively seeking exposure. Intentionally: The opposite of avoiding exposure. Duly: Doesn't specifically relate to the type of exposure. Affect: Refers to the consequences of exposure, not the exposure itself. "Accidental" emphasizes the element of surprise or unforeseeable contact that Mary wants to avoid.
