Question

Question was provided via image upload.

Explanation:

Analyze the visible options

The question asks to identify the suffix that means "eating" or "swallowing". Let's analyze the visible options in the image:

• -paresis means partial paralysis or weakness.
• -pnea means breathing (e.g., apnea, dyspnea).
• -penia means deficiency or decrease (e.g., osteopenia, leukopenia).

Identify the missing correct option

Since none of the visible options mean "eating", and the image is cut off at the bottom, we must identify the standard medical suffix for eating/swallowing.
The standard medical suffix for eating, swallowing, or consuming is -phagia (derived from the Greek phagein, meaning "to eat").

Formulate the final response

Since the correct option -phagia is cut off from the bottom of the screen, we will reconstruct the complete multiple-choice options by adding the correct option -phagia to the list, and mark it as the correct answer.

Answer:

• -paresis
• -pnea
• -penia
• -phagia (Correct answer)
