About this MCQ

This Medium General Science and Nature MCQ checks one syllabus fact.

The question is: “What is the name for the internal framework of the body, consisting of 206 bones in a typical adult?”

The accepted answer is C. Human Skeleton. Human Skeleton is the fact required by “What is the name for the internal framework of the body, consisting of 206 bones in a typical adult” (option C). Option A (“Speed of Light”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Human Skeleton. Option B (“Amphibians”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Human Skeleton.
