Question

While wandering through the streets of a foreign city for the first time, Maurice experienced a strange sense of familiarity with the city's landmarks as if he had been in this exact location before. His experience best illustrates ___________.

Answer 1

Answer:

Déjà vu

Explanation:

Déjà vu is a French word that literally means "already seen." People who experience Déjà vu usually get a momentarily weird feeling of being familiar with something that they ought not to be familiar with. Indeed, they ought not to be familiar with that thing because it is actually their first time being in the location, situation or event.

The feeling is not different from Maurice's case because he is visiting a foreign city for the first time but somehow momentarily experience a weird feeling of being familiar with the city's landscapes which is actually foreign to him.
