Each question below has a key word, followed by four options. From the options, choose the one that is an essential part of the key word — that is, the thing without which the key word cannot exist.
School
- A.
student
- B.
report card
- C.
test
- D.
learning
Attempted by 109 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
In an essential-part question, you pick the option without which the key word cannot exist.
A school is fundamentally a place where students are taught. Without students there is no school, so the student is its essential part. A report card, a test, or learning may all be associated with a school, but a school can exist without any one of them; they are related but not essential.
