Read this passage and answer the question that follows: Mnemonics

There are eight small bones on the wrist: Navicular, Lunate, Triquetrum, Pisiform, Multongular (Greater), Multongular (Lesser), Capitate, and Hamate.

Pretty hard to remember, right?

Now say this strange sentence out loud: Never Lick Tilly's Popsicle, Mother Might Come Home. The first letter of each word in the sentence corresponds to the first letter of one of the bones. If you were taking a test on the bones in the wrist, this sentence could help jog your memory if you got stuck.
