Explanation:

• Question 73: Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a functional gastrointestinal disorder that causes abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits. The key word here is "intestines" as IBS affects the large intestine. "Painful intestines" is the correct description.
• Question 74: The prefix "dys -" means abnormal or difficult, and "phonia" relates to the voice. So, "Dys/phonia" means a faulty or abnormal voice.
• Question 75: Periodontitis (also known as Rigg's disease and periodontoclasia) is a severe gum infection that damages the soft tissue and bone supporting the teeth. Pyorrhea is an old - fashioned term for periodontitis which involves the discharge of pus from the gums.
