Which container item can be re-served for a new customer?

• A. Freshly Poured Beverage in a Clean Cup
• B. Ketchup Bottle
• C. Used Napkin
• D. Open Cup of Water

Answer: (B)

The idea here is which container item can safely be given to another customer without increasing risk of contamination. A ketchup bottle is designed for multiple guests; as long as the outside of the bottle is kept clean and the contents aren’t contaminated (for example, the nozzle is not touched by someone's mouth and the bottle isn’t leaking), it can be re-served to a new customer. The other options pose too much risk: a freshly poured beverage in a clean cup has already contacted the previous customer’s mouth, so it should not be reused; an open cup of water is exposed to the environment and possible mouth contact, making re-serving inappropriate; and a used napkin is waste and not something you would re-serve.
