Answer 2

simple test

Step-by-step explanation:

When the expression "simple test" is presented, we can conclude that this type of text is not normal and that it is the application of it that causes strangeness in the narrator, who realizes that something completely out of the ordinary is happening. This creates a context for us to understand the meaning of "anomalous". In this case, we can consider "simple test" as a context clue.
