Question 10 • 2026-2027 EDGE Human Anatomy and Physiology B

Which of the following people would be the most likely to have epilepsy?

Answer
A
a young man with a brain tumor
B
an older woman
C
an older man with blocked arteries
D
a girl who plays baseball

Explanation

A brain tumor can irritate or disrupt brain tissue, making seizures—and therefore epilepsy—more likely. Of these choices, the young man with a brain tumor has the clearest risk factor. Being older or playing baseball alone does not point as strongly to epilepsy; blocked arteries can cause brain problems, but the tumor is the more direct risk here.
