- C.(a)-(i); (b)-(iii); (c)-(ii); (d)-(iv)
- D.(a)-(ii); (b)-(iii); (c)-(iv); (d)-(i)
Correct Answer
(B) (a)-(iv); (b)-(iii); (c)-(ii); (d)-(i)
Solution & Explanation
Answer: B. Scapula is a large triangular flat bone (a-iv). The cranium is formed by flat skull bones fused end-to-end by fibrous sutures, i.e. fibrous joints (b-iii). The sternum is a flat bone of the ventral thorax (c-ii). The adjacent vertebrae of the vertebral column are united by cartilaginous joints (d-i). This gives (a)-(iv); (b)-(iii); (c)-(ii); (d)-(i). NCERT Ch 17, p.226, line 20: "Scapula is a large triangular flat bone". NCERT Ch 17, p.227, line 8: "Fibrous joints do not allow any movement. This type of joint is shown by the flat skull bones which fuse end-to-end with the help of dense fibrous connective tissues in the form of sutures, to form the cranium."
