4. Which bone is shorter in the forearm?

• A. Humerus
• B. Radius
• C. Scapula

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Radius. The forearm consists of two long bones: the radius and the ulna. The radius is located on the thumb side of the forearm and is shorter than the ulna, which is on the pinky side. The humerus is the bone located in the upper arm, the scapula is the shoulder blade bone, and the fibula is a bone in the lower leg. Therefore, they are not the shorter bone in the forearm.

To predispose means to make someone more susceptible to a condition, in this case, being overweight may increase the likelihood of developing diabetes. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because predispose does not mean preventing, avoiding, or treating a condition, but rather making someone more vulnerable or inclined to it.
