Don't try to catch a falling __________.

• A. Knife
• B. Cup
• C. Pan
• D. Spoon

Answer: (A)

Sharp objects demand respect. A falling knife can slip or spin in your hand or land edge-first, causing deep, fast injuries that are hard to stop once it’s moving. The safest move is to step back and let it fall or slide to a safe spot, then pick it up by the handle after it’s stopped. This habit protects your hands and prevents serious cuts. While a cup, pan, or spoon can be dropped without the same immediate risk of cutting, you still want to keep your workspace clear and avoid reaching under a falling object.
