Stress-induced amnesia is a rare and devastating (A) phenomenon that strikes suddenly, with memory loss as complete (F) as that from physical (I) trauma. gre.myprepclub +1
Correct Choices
- Blank (i): devastating (A) - captures the severe, destructive impact fitting "rare and [blank]".
- Blank (ii): complete (F) - matches total memory loss, paralleling trauma-induced effects.
- Blank (iii): physical (I) - contrasts stress (psychological) with bodily injury trauma.
Why Not Others
Venial (B, minor/forgivable) or pervasive (C, widespread) unfit rarity/severity; limited (E) opposes totality; mental (H) repeats stress type.
Real-World Context
Such amnesia arises from extreme stress dissociating memories, mimicking physical head trauma effects like concussion-related blackout.
