Which occupation is described by the clue 'Medicine (crushing a pill)'?

• A. Doctor
• B. Fisherman
• C. Biologist
• D. Pharmacist

Answer: (D)

Medicines and how they’re prepared point to a role that handles dispensing and modifying medications. Crushing a pill is a preparation task you’d associate with a pharmacist, who compiles and adjusts meds for patients and provides guidance on proper use. A doctor prescribes but doesn’t typically crush pills as part of daily duties, and fishermen or biologists aren’t involved with medication preparation. So the clue fits the pharmacist.
