From options A to D choose the nearest in meaning to the word or phrase underline in the sentence:
The accident victim received a SUPERFICIAL wound from the crash.
A. a serious B. a painless C. an internal D. an external
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is D. an external.
Superficial refers to something that is on or near the surface, rather than being deep or serious. In the context of a wound, a "superficial" wound is one that affects only the outer layers of the skin, making it "external" rather than deep or internal.
