What it does

Displays a prompt such as "Up is the opposite of ___". The patient chooses or types the correct answer.

As the title suggests, has lessons where the patient finds a word that has the same meaning (Synonym), opposite meaning (Antonym) or finds another word that sounds the same (Homonym).

Highest levels are very challenging. The patient is given a definition. S/he must then match that to the definition of another word that sounds the same.

paper which assists route-finding

Did you find that challenging enough?

This is the highest level in this program, so don't expect the patient to get the right answer immediately. They have 14 other lessons to build up their skills before tackling #15.

Answer:

C, because "the rule of royalty" is "Reign" which SOUNDS LIKE "rain". Precipitation is
"rain").

Can be used independently, thanks to special features.
