Description:

Step	Type	Explanation	Answer
1	Problem	In studying the use of external stimuli to reduce the itching sensation caused by an allergic histamine response, Louise Ward and colleagues found that while harmless applications of vibration or warming can provide a temporary distraction, such____stimuli actually offer less relief than a stimulus that seems less benign, like a mild electric shock. Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
2	Hint	The details and facts help to draw the main idea of the passage.
3	Sumup	Can you summarize what you’ve understood in the above steps?
4	Choice.A	Choice A is incorrect because the text focuses on a distinction between harmless stimuli and those that seem to be less benign. Nothing in the text suggests that any of the treatments are “deceptive” or misleading; indeed, even the less effective ones are described as offering some relief.	deceptive
5	Choice.B	Choice B is the correct answer because it most logically completes the text’s discussion of Ward and colleagues’ findings. As used in this context, “innocuous” means mild or unharmful. The text describes the vibration and warming that Ward and colleagues used to alleviate itching as “harmless applications” and goes on to contrast these applications with another stimulus that actually offers more relief even though it seems to be stronger and “less benign.” This context conveys the idea that vibration and warming were innocuous stimuli.	innocuous
6	Choice.C	Choice C is incorrect because the text focuses on the amount of relief from being offered by harmless stimuli and those that seem to be less benign. The text doesn’t suggest that any of these stimuli are “novel,” or original and new; heat, vibration, and electricity aren’t new inventions.	novel
7	Choice.D	Choice D is incorrect because it would make no sense to describe an application of vibration or warming as “impractical” or unsuitable for use. The text indicates that these harmless applications are useful in that they offer at least some temporary relief."	impractical

Sumup

Can you summarize what you’ve understood in the above steps?

Choice.A

Choice A is incorrect because the text focuses on a distinction between harmless stimuli and those that seem to be less benign. Nothing in the text suggests that any of the treatments are “deceptive” or misleading; indeed, even the less effective ones are described as offering some relief.

deceptive

Choice.B

Choice B is the correct answer because it most logically completes the text’s discussion of Ward and colleagues’ findings. As used in this context, “innocuous” means mild or unharmful. The text describes the vibration and warming that Ward and colleagues used to alleviate itching as “harmless applications” and goes on to contrast these applications with another stimulus that actually offers more relief even though it seems to be stronger and “less benign.” This context conveys the idea that vibration and warming were innocuous stimuli.

innocuous

Choice.C

Choice C is incorrect because the text focuses on the amount of relief from being offered by harmless stimuli and those that seem to be less benign. The text doesn’t suggest that any of these stimuli are “novel,” or original and new; heat, vibration, and electricity aren’t new inventions.

novel

Choice.D

Choice D is incorrect because it would make no sense to describe an application of vibration or warming as “impractical” or unsuitable for use. The text indicates that these harmless applications are useful in that they offer at least some temporary relief."

impractical

Step:

Correct sentence

The choice that completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase - innocuous.
