Correct answer: A. Glycerin-water solution

  • A. Glycerin-water solution
  • B. Cement liquid
  • C. Alcohol
  • D. Only water

For shade selection, the cement powder is mixed with a glycerin-water medium because it approximates the optical effect of the cement without the setting reaction of the actual liquid. Mixing with cement liquid would start setting and can distort the trial shade.
