A person receives a laceration along the anterior border of the trapezius muscle in the neck and subsequently the point of his shoulder (scapula) sags and he has some difficulty fully abducting his arm. What nerve appears to have been severed? a) accessory (Cr. N. XI) b) axillary c) dorsal scapular d) greater occipital e) suprascapular

A anterior border of the traps means post triangle, damage to the accessory nerve would only cause paralysis of the trapezius (Already supplied the SCM)
