Which word means harm or injury?

• A. Raise
• B. Damage
• C. Novelty
• D. Absent-minded

Answer: (B)

This question tests your ability to identify a word that means harm or injury. Damage is the word that fits that sense, since it refers to harm done to something, causing impairment, breakage, or loss in function or value. You can see it in phrases like damage to a car, or damage to a reputation. The other options don’t fit: raise means to lift or increase, novelty means newness, and absent-minded describes a forgetful tendency. So damage is the best choice for indicating harm or injury.
