Step-by-step explanation:

I took the test.

Answer 2

Incorrect; "make use of his skills in surgery"

Step-by-step explanation:

In this excerpt, we learn about Dr. Williams and how his work took him to a "dispensary." If we do not know the meaning of this word, one of the ways in which we can continue our reading is by trying to guess this word through context. Although "dispensary" can sometimes mean "pharmacy," in this context it most likely refers to a clinic or a hospital, as the author tells us that Dr. Williams "made use of his skills in surgery," and surgery is not generally performed in a pharmacy.
