A technician examines a patient's faeces and finds worms with flattened, segmented bodies. What are they?

ATapeworms
BRoundworms
CLiver flukes
DPlanaria
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Tapeworms
1. The two clues are flattened and segmented, and both must hold. 2. Tapeworms are flatworms whose bodies are divided into a chain of segments, so they match both. 3. Roundworms and filarial worms are round in cross-section and tapered at both ends, not flattened. 4. Liver flukes are flattened from back to front but are not segmented. 5. Planaria are flatworms too, but they are free-living in water rather than parasites found in faeces. _Source: NECTA CSEE 2021 Biology 033, Question 1: Multiple Choice, item (viii)_
