Select the meaning of the underlined word in this sentence. When something is *diluted*, what is the outcome?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
When a substance is diluted, it means that it is mixed with a solvent, resulting in a weaker concentration of the original substance. Dilution does not involve changing the temperature, combining with an acid, or creating a sterile field. The primary outcome of dilution is a reduction in the strength or potency of the substance. Therefore, the correct answer is 'B: Makes it weaker.'
