Question
Virginia was overjoyed to hear that her lung tumor was __________.Select one:a. banefulb. nocuousc. sentientd. benign
Solution
The correct answer is d. benign. This is because the word "benign" in a medical context means that the tumor is not harmful or malignant, which would be a cause for joy. The other options - "baneful", "nocuous", and "sentient" - all have negative connotations. "Baneful" and "nocuous" mean harmful or destructive, and "sentient" means able to perceive or feel things, which doesn't make sense in this context.
