Question

Match the columns and find out the correct combination.

	Column I		Column II
(a)	Asthma	(i)	Inflammation of nasal tract
(b)	Bronchitis	(ii)	Spasm of tracheal muscle
(c)	Rhinitis	(iii)	Fully blown out alveoli
(d)	Emphysema	(iv)	Inflammation of bronchi
		(v)	Cough with blood stained sputum

• A. a-iv, b-ii, c-v, d-i
• B. a-v, b-iii, c-ii, d-i
• C. a-iii, b-i, c-v, d-iv
• D. a-ii, b-iv, c-i, d-iii
• E. a-iii, b-i, c-iv, d-ii

Answer 1

The correct option is D a-ii, b-iv, c-i, d-iii

• Asthma is a condition in which tracheal muscle contact and makes the airways narrow (which is called bronchial spasm) and swell and may produce extra mucus. This can make breathing difficult. So the correct combination is (a)-(ii).
• Bronchitis is an inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes, which carry air to and from the lungs. So the correct combination is (b)-(iv).
• Rhinitis is irritation or information and swelling of the mucous membrane in the nose. So the correct combination is (c)-(i).
• Emphysema is a lung condition that causes shortness of breath. The air sacs in the lungs (alveoli) are damaged. Over time, the inner walls of the air sacs weaken and rupture — creating larger air spaces instead of many small ones. So the correct combination is (d)-(iii).

Hence we can conclude that option D is the correct answer.
