Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option C: Told her professors
Concept: Reporting Verbs and Possessives.

Solution: The verb 'tell' requires an indirect object (professors), and feminine subject 'Maria' takes possessive 'her'.

Why other options are incorrect:
  • Option A: Gender mismatch ('his').

  • Option B: 'Said' cannot directly take a personal object without 'to'.

  • Option D: Present tense breaks sequence of past reported speech ('could not').

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
