    27 / 27. Ι liked the lessons of human body, anatomy and physiology at high school. Contrary to the contemporary students we were studying more in my time.

    1 mistake for not knowing, 2 for not knowing proper English nomenclature. I am satisfied. :)

    The explanation for question 4 is wrong. None of the answer lists include anything but bones. I chose the correct answer by eliminating the first and third lists because they exclude the pelvis, and the second list because it excludes the femur, and those two bones would definitely be on any possible list of major human bones. Also, metatarsals are the littlest bones in our toes, and would definitely not be on a list of major human bones; patella is the kneecap, scapula the collarbone, and those would probably not be considered major bones.

    That's what I did: the pelvis and femur seemed like two of the most important, and the metatarsal being so little, but reckoned that they (as a group) would be considered major. That question had me a bit confused, and I'm glad to know that I wasn't the only one who was because the answers didn't seem right. Thank you for your excellent explanation; both of them! 😉😁😄
