Answer 2

The correct option is d.

The problem with antiseptics is that apart from killing germs, they also kill the surrounding tissues.

• The words 'apart from' are treated as prepositions and the phrase means besides, in addition to or except for.
• Therefore, the second blank requires a word associated with 'in addition to'. So the adverb 'also' is used.
• The word 'apart' can be used alone as an adverb, which means separated or away from each other.
