question 19 of 20
a ________ is the stretching or tearing of a ligament.

o a. sprain
o b. dislocation
o c. twist
o d. stress injury

Explanation:

A sprain is defined as the stretching or tearing of a ligament. A dislocation is when a bone is forced out of its normal position in a joint. A twist is a general term for a rotational movement and not a specific medical term for ligament injury. A stress injury typically refers to overuse injuries in bones (like stress fractures) rather than ligament issues. So, based on the definitions, the correct answer is sprain.

Answer:

A. sprain
