Explanation

Petra made three errors besides dropping the beaker: she placed her gloves on the table, picked up broken glass with her bare hand, and waited until the end of lab to tell the instructor. Broken glass should be handled with a brush and dustpan, and the instructor should be notified right away. The glass container was the correct place for the broken pieces.
