Question 21

In medical terminology, the prefix "Cerebro - " is related to the brain. For example, "cerebrovascular" refers to blood vessels in the brain. The option "half" is incorrect (a prefix like "hemi - " means half), "hard" is not related (a prefix like "sclero - " can mean hard), and "little brain" would be related to "cerebello - " (as in cerebellum). So "Cerebro - " means brain.

• Psychosis is a mental disorder involving a disconnection from reality, not mainly about senility and recognition loss.
• Parkinson’s disease is characterized by tremors, rigidity, etc., not the symptoms described.
• Cerebral palsy is a disorder affecting movement and muscle tone, usually from brain damage in infancy, not related to senility.
• Alzheimer’s Disease is characterized by early senility, confusion, loss of recognition of people or places, and restlessness.

Answer:

B. brain (assuming the options are labeled as A. half, B. brain, C. hard, D. little brain)
