    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "colon". The word "colo" seems to be a truncated form of "colon", which is a part of the digestive system. This makes sense in the context of the other options given, such as "brain" and "lung", which are unrelated to the digestive system. Therefore, "colon" is the most logical choice among the given options.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "bronchus" because it is the singular form of the word "bronchi" which refers to the main passageways that direct air into the lungs. The other options, such as "bladder" and "blood," are unrelated to the respiratory system and do not fit the context of the given words.

    The given words "rhino, nose, tooth, eye" form a sequence of body parts. The word "nose" fits this pattern as it is a body part, just like "tooth" and "eye". The word "rhino" is the odd one out in this sequence as it is not a body part. Therefore, "nose" is the correct answer.

    Chole

    • Bile

    • Blood

    • Air

    Correct Answer
    A. Bile
    Explanation
    Bile is the correct answer because it is a substance produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. It plays a crucial role in the digestion and absorption of fats in the small intestine. Chole, blood, and air are not directly related to the production and function of bile.

    • Cell

    • Stone

    Correct Answer
    A. Fat

    The word "lipo" is commonly used as a prefix in medical terms to refer to fat or fatty tissue. In this case, "lipo" is followed by the word "fat," which further reinforces the connection.

    • One / alone

    • After

    Correct Answer
    A. Two / both sides

    Prefix
