Answer:

11 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

The patient gets 11 ounces of liquid.

From the description of this problem:

Xavier administers four cups of liquid each containing two ounces

The number of ounces in the four cups = 2 x 4 = 8ounces

Also,

One cup of the liquid contains 3 ounces.

Total number of ounces administered = 8 + 3 = 11 ounces.
