Question
Virginia was overjoyed to hear that her lung tumor was __________.
Select one:
- a. baneful
- b. nocuous
- c. sentient
- d. benign
Solution
The correct answer is d. benign.
Explanation:
- The word "benign" refers to something that is not harmful or malignant, especially in the context of medical conditions such as tumors. A benign tumor typically does not pose a serious health risk.
- In contrast, the other options have meanings related to harm or negative effects:
- a. baneful - causing destruction or ruin, harmful.
- b. nocuous - harmful or destructive to living things.
- c. sentient - able to perceive or feel things, not related to the harm context.
Given the context of Virginia's health and joy regarding her tumor, "benign" is the most fitting word.
