Question : Select the segment in which a word has been INCORRECTLY used.
Is the Abominable Snowman a friction of the mountaineers’ imagination?
Option 1: a friction
Option 2: of the mountaineers’
Option 3: imagination
Option 4: Is the Abominable Snowman
Correct Answer: a friction
Solution : The correct choice is the first option .
The word friction is incorrectly used in this context, and it should be figment . Friction refers to the resistance between two surfaces in contact, while figment means something invented or imagined, which fits the context of the sentence. This helps to convey the intended meaning, which is questioning the existence of the Abominable Snowman as a creation of imagination.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Is the Abominable Snowman a figment of the mountaineers’ imagination?"
