EnglishVocabulary: Meaning, Synonyms & Antonyms
Identify the incorrect pair.
- a.Kidney diseases – urologist
- b.Blood-related diseases – haematologist
- c.Diseases of the stomach – gastroenterologist
- d.Various types of cancer – oncologist
Answer: (A) Kidney diseases – urologist
Kidney diseases are treated by a nephrologist (Greek nephros = kidney). A urologist is a surgical specialist for the urinary tract (bladder, ureter, stones, prostate) and the male reproductive system, so the first pair is the mismatch. The other three pairs are correct: haematologist for blood disorders, gastroenterologist for the stomach and intestines, and oncologist for cancer. Also remember cardiologist (heart), hepatologist (liver), dermatologist (skin), neurologist (nerves), ophthalmologist (eyes) and rheumatologist (joints).
