Explanation:

Question 3

To determine the meaning of "obstructed" in the context of an air passage, we analyze each option: "swollen" refers to enlargement due to fluid, not blockage; "blocked by an obstacle" directly matches the definition of obstructed (to block or impede); "injured" means damaged, not blocked; "irritated" means annoyed or inflamed, not blocked. So the best answer is the one related to being blocked.

We analyze each option for a person not responding: "asleep" means sleeping, but a sleeping person might still respond to stimuli; "conscious" means aware and able to respond, so this is incorrect; "unconscious" means not aware or responsive, which fits a person not responding; "tired" means fatigued, but a tired person can still respond. So the best answer is the one related to being unconscious.

Answer:

B. blocked by an obstacle
