If "-rrhage" means blood, what is the meaning of hemorrhage?
Draining blood
Making blood
Bursting forth of blood
Deficiency of blood
Solution
Answer
The answer is "Bursting forth of blood."
Explanation
Option 1: Draining blood
This option suggests a gradual or controlled removal of blood, which is not the specific meaning of "hemorrhage."
Option 2: Making blood
This option is incorrect as "hemorrhage" does not refer to the production of blood.
Option 3: Bursting forth of blood
This is the correct definition. "Hemorrhage" refers to a rapid and often uncontrollable loss of blood from a ruptured blood vessel.
Option 4: Deficiency of blood
This option describes a condition like anemia, where there is a lack of blood or red blood cells, not the sudden loss of blood.
Option 5: I DON'T KNOW YET
This option is for those who are unsure of the answer.
