Mary is allergic to peanuts, so she always checks food labels to avoid any ___________ exposure.

A accidental Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B purpose Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C intentionally Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D duly Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E affect Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Purpose: Doesn't make sense in this context, as Mary isn't actively seeking exposure. Intentionally: The opposite of avoiding exposure. Duly: Doesn't specifically relate to the type of exposure. Affect: Refers to the consequences of exposure, not the exposure itself. "Accidental" emphasizes the element of surprise or unforeseeable contact that Mary wants to avoid.
