Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable word:
Medicines are stored in a _________.

• A. Carton
• B. Portmanteau
• C. Phial
• D. Punnet

Answer 1

The correct option is C Phial

A ‘phial’ is a small cylindrical glass bottle that is used to store medicines and medical samples. Hence option C is correct. On the other hand, a ‘portmanteau’ is a large bag that is used for traveling purposes, which would be unsuitable in the given context. Hence option A is incorrect. While a ‘carton’ is a light box that is used to carry drinks or other edible packaged items. It is not used for storing medicines, thus option B is incorrect. Whereas a ‘punnet’ is a small basket or container that is used for storing fruits or vegetables. Therefore option D is incorrect.
