Explanation:

Question 23

The medical term "Emphysema" comes from the Greek word "emphysema" which means "puffed up" (related to the pathological condition of air sacs in the lungs being over - inflated). "Panting" is related to rapid breathing, "swollen" is a more general term for enlargement due to fluid etc., and "congested" is about blockage. So the correct meaning is "puffed up".

The medical term "Asthma" has its origin related to the idea of "panting" (rapid, labored breathing which is characteristic of asthma). "Gasping" is a more sudden intake of breath, "puffed up" is related to emphysema, and "hard to breathe" is a general description but not the literal meaning.

Answer:

B. puffed up (assuming the options are labeled as A. panting, B. puffed up, C. swollen, D. congested)
