The statement 'Do not breathe vapors or spray mist' is an example of what type of statement?

• A. A general safety reminder.
• B. A specific action statement.
• C. A hazard warning without directive.
• D. A procedural instruction without action.

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is how safety guidance on labels directs behavior. The sentence tells you exactly what action to avoid—breathing in vapors or spray mist. That makes it a specific action statement: it specifies a particular prohibited action to prevent harm. It isn’t just a general safety reminder, because it ties the warning to a concrete action. It also isn’t a hazard warning without directive, since it tells you what not to do, and it isn’t a procedural instruction that describes steps to perform a task.
