Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

C is right.

To determine the number of doses in the bottle, we need to divide the total amount of the drug in the bottle by the dosage per dose.

In this case, the patient is taking 100mg of antihistamine syrup three times a day (TID). So, the total daily dosage is 100mg x 3 = 300mg.

If the bottle contains 2400mg of the drug, we can divide the total amount in the bottle by the daily dosage:

2400mg ÷ 300mg/day = 8 days

This means that the bottle contains enough medication for 8 days. However, since the patient takes the medication three times a day, we need to determine the number of doses per bottle.

Number of doses per bottle = Total daily dosage ÷ Dosage per dose

Number of doses per bottle = 300mg/day ÷ 100mg/dose = 3 doses

Therefore, there are 3 doses in each bottle. Since the total amount in the bottle is enough for 8 days, we can multiply the number of doses per day by the number of days:

Number of doses in the bottle = Number of doses per day x Number of days

Number of doses in the bottle = 3 doses/day x 8 days = 24 doses

Hence, the answer is 24 doses.
