Which term describes a type of movement that is violent and involves involuntary spasms?

• A. Convulsive
• B. Contingent
• C. Defecate
• D. Depth

Answer: (A)

Think about a movement that is sudden, forceful, and not under a person’s control. That’s what convulsive describes. It refers to violent, involuntary muscle contractions often seen in seizures, where the body experiences jerky, unplanned movements due to abnormal brain activity. The other terms don’t fit this idea: contingent means dependent or conditional, defecate means to stool, and depth refers to how far something goes or how intense it is, not a type of abnormal movement.
