ANSWER: 1. When picking up a knife, make sure you aren't holding anything else or are being distracted. - Correction: "When picking up a knife, make sure you aren't holding anything else and are not distracted."- The original statement uses "or" which implies that either holding something else or being distracted is okay. It should be "and" to emphasize that both are dangerous. 2. Grasp the knife handle firmly and lay your other hand on top of the knife to prevent any blade contact. - Correction: "Grasp the knife handle firmly and use your other hand to guide the food, keeping your fingers away from the blade."- Laying your hand on top of the knife is not a safe practice. You should use your other hand to guide the food, keeping your fingers away from the blade. 3. Always handle knives with care. - Correction: (Smiley face)- This statement is correct. 4. Keep your knives sharpened so you don't need to strain while chopping, slicing, or dicing. - Correction: (Smiley face)- This statement is correct. A sharp knife is actually safer than a dull one because it requires less force. 5. Wear cotton clothing to cover your limbs and other parts of your body that might be exposed to the cleaning agent. - Correction: "Wear appropriate protective gear, such as gloves and an apron, when handling cleaning agents."- Cotton clothing is not the best protection for cleaning agents. Protective gear like gloves and an apron are more effective.
