What does the acronym AS refer to?

  1. Afternoon siesta

  2. Ankle sprain

  3. Left ear

  4. Acoustic signal

The correct answer is: Left ear

The acronym AS typically refers to the left ear in medical terminology. Option A is incorrect because an afternoon siesta is commonly referred to as a nap or a rest period, not an acronym. Option B is incorrect because an ankle sprain is more commonly referred to as an "ankle sprain" or a "sprained ankle" than just "AS". Option D is incorrect because AS is not a commonly used acronym for an acoustic signal.
