Answer to Problem 1TY

Correct answer:

Someone would perform exorcism to release evil spirits. Therefore, option c. is correct.

Option c. is given as “to release evil spirits”.

Explanation of Solution

Reasons for the correct statement:

Exorcism is defined as a religious or spiritual practice for releasing demons or spirits from a person or from an area as they are possessed by spirits. The person who performs exorcism is called as an exorcist. The person is graced by some special powers or skills. There are three types of exorcism that are baptismal exorcism, simple exorcism and real exorcism.

Hence, option c. is correct.

Reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option a. is given as “to relieve fluid pressure on the brain”.

Hydrocephalus is a neurological condition in which fluid is accumulated in skull and causes swelling in brain. So, cerebro-spinal fluid is drained out of the brain in order to relieve pressure. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option b. is given as “to look into the brain to see what was wrong”.

It is done by neuropsychological test and not by exorcism. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option d. is given as “to restore balance to the body’s humor”.

Body’s humor is studied by humoral theory which involves four humors that are blood, phlegm, yellow bile and black bile. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options a., b., and d. are incorrect.

Conclusion

Exorcism is used to release evil spirit or demon from the body of a person as the person is possessed and under control of evil spirits.

Think about this.  You have been asked to help the staff at a Jiffy Lube to reduce frequency of errors and complaints with oil changes.  You determine that the staff there aren’t entirely clear on all of the steps that go into changing oil, or the correct order in which to do them.  So, you write a task analysis for changing oil. Step by step, you list, in order of implementation, the pinpointed movements a staff member must do to change the oil in a car or truck.  Errors are reduced, but not greatly.  (For example, sometimes the oil is overfilled and sometimes underfilled; sometimes the oil pan plug is too loose, and the oil pan drips oil; and sometimes it’s too tight, and the threads are stripped.) You have specified a bunch of antecedent conditions in your task analysis.  With regard to the content of Chapter 4 – behavior is a function of its…
