When adding a pesticide to a spray tank, stand so the wind blows ______ from you and keep the measuring container ______ your face.

• A. away AND level with
• B. toward AND below
• C. toward AND above
• D. away AND below

Answer: (D)

The main idea is to minimize your exposure by controlling drift direction and how you pour. If the wind blows toward you, drift can easily reach your eyes, nose, and mouth, increasing inhalation and skin contact. Standing with the wind blowing away from you helps push any small droplets or dust away from your body. Keeping the measuring container below your face further protects you by reducing the chance that a splash or vapor rises toward your eyes and face while you pour. The other options would either send drift toward you or place the pour level too high, both of which raise the risk of exposure. So, stand with the wind moving away from you and pour with the container below your face.
