Definition-by-essential-sense: given the term ‘‘pain’’, identify the option that most directly captures its meaning among {cut, burn, nuisance, hurt}.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: hurt

Explanation:

We match the stimulus word to a synonym that denotes its intrinsic sensation rather than a cause or side concept.

  • Prompt: pain
  • Options: cut, burn, nuisance, hurt

Concept/Approach
Select a semantic equivalent (synonym) rather than an instance (cause) or related annoyance.
Step-by-Step evaluation
1) 'Hurt' is a direct synonym describing the state/feeling of pain.2) 'Cut' and 'burn' are injuries that may cause pain but are not the definition of pain itself.3) 'Nuisance' is irritation/inconvenience; not equivalent to physical or emotional pain.
Verification/Alternative
Dictionary sense alignment: pain ⟷ hurt (to cause or feel pain).
Common pitfalls
Selecting a common cause of pain (cut, burn) instead of the synonymous sensation (hurt).
Final Answer
hurt
