English QUESTION #11610

The idiom “a white elephant” refers to something that is:

very beautiful
useless and costly✔️
looks ugly
None of these

Correct Answer Logic:

A white elephant is a well-known idiom for a possession that is expensive to maintain but of little practical use or value. The origin traces to the tradition of rare white elephants being gifted to disfavored courtiers in Southeast Asia — the recipient could neither refuse nor afford the upkeep. The phrase now means any burdensome, costly, and useless thing.

Correct Answer: B — useless and costly.

Question 6

A patient with spinal cord hemisection (Brown-Séquard syndrome) shows ipsilateral loss of proprioception and fine touch below the lesion, together with contralateral loss of pain and temperature. This pattern reflects the differing decussation levels of which two pathways?

Dorsal columns (decussate in medulla) and spinothalamic tract (decussate near level of entry)✔️
Corticospinal tract and dorsal columns (both decussate at the same spinal level)
Spinocerebellar tracts only
Vestibulospinal and rubrospinal tracts

Correct Answer Logic:

The dorsal columns ascend ipsilaterally and decussate only in the medulla (internal arcuate fibers), whereas the spinothalamic tract decussates almost immediately at the segmental level of entry. This difference explains the classic dissociated sensory pattern in Brown-Séquard syndrome.

Courts refusing to rule on any administrative decisions
