The correct answer is D. The truck’s engine is more powerful than the station wagon.

Explanation:

In grammar, an "illogical comparison" is used to described mistakes in sentences when trying to establish a comparison this mainly occurs when the objects that are compared do not belong to the same category and therefore the comparison is illogical or does not make sense. This occurs in the case of the sentence "The truck’s engine is more powerful than the station wagon" because the "truck's engine" is being compared with the "station wagon" which is a vehicle, instead of the "station wagon's engine" and therefore there is an illogical comparison  because an engine cannot be compared to a vehicle but only compared to another engine.

a contingency break; inattentional blindness

This scene is an example of a contingency break. A contingency break is when, in a piece of media (usually children movies or TV shows) a scene occurs that is immediately retconned in the next scene. A common example of this is in children's cartoons, when a character may have gotten their clothes dirty in one scene, but they are back to normal in the next with no time for them to have been cleaned. This applies to the movie <em>Shrek</em>, as the three blind mice are turned into horses in one frame, but are back to the status quo in the next.

Inattentional blindness is the failure to notice a fully visible, but unexpected, object/action because one's attention was on another object/action. A contingency break can be considered a "real-life" example of inattentional blindness because, if this scene occurred in real-life, you would not notice the mice turning back to normal as your attention was not focused on them.

Corpulent A. flexible B. fat C. strong D. slender
WARRIOR [948]
Corpulent would most likely go with "fat" since this is often used in a derogatory way to say that something is "oversize". It comes from the Latin "corpus" being body.  <span />
