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. Remaining alternatives (Reptiles) fall outside the same rule and should be eliminated once Human Skeleton is identified. General Science and Nature questions of this type reward precise definitions rather than approximate associations. General Science and Nature recall of this distinction is a regular item in FPSC, PPSC, NTS, and CSS papers.
