    Colo

    • Colon

    • Brain

    • Lung

    Correct Answer
    A. Colon
    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.

    Correct Answer
    A. Bronchus
    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.

    Correct Answer
    A. Nose
    Explanation
    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.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "heart" because cardio is a prefix that relates to the heart.

    Cerebro

    • Brain

    • Air

    • Joint

    • Brain

    Correct Answer
    A. Air
    Explanation

  • 13. 

    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Lipo

    • Fat

    • Cell

    • Stone

    Correct Answer
    A. Fat
    Explanation
    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. The other words listed, such as "cell" and "stone," do not have the same association with fat, making "fat" the most appropriate answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 15.

    • Two / both sides

    • One / alone

    • After

    Correct Answer
    A. Two / both sides

    Prefix

    • Begining

    • Middle

    • End

    Correct Answer
    A. Begining
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "beginning" because a prefix is a group of letters added at the beginning of a word to change its meaning or create a new word. In this case, "begining" is misspelled, and the correct spelling is "beginning," which refers to the start or initial part of something.

    Rate this question:

    • Joint

    • Pain

    • Rib

    Correct Answer
    A. Joint
    Explanation
    The word "arthro" is a prefix that means "joint." The word "joint" is a noun that refers to the point where two bones meet. Therefore, "joint" is the correct answer as it directly relates to the given words "arthro" and "rib," which indicate joint and pain respectively.

    Correct Answer
