Solution
The answer is the first one: juice.
Explanation:
Juice: Chyme is a semi-fluid mass of partly digested food that is expelled by the stomach into the duodenum. The term "chyme" is derived from the Greek word "chymos," which means juice.
Ball or lump: This does not relate to the meaning of chyme.
Tumor: This is unrelated to chyme.
Swelling: This is not the correct meaning of chyme.
The answer is the first one: small, glowing ember.
Explanation:
Small, glowing ember: The term "carbuncle" comes from the Latin "carbunculus," which means a small, glowing ember or a small piece of coal, reflecting its appearance.
Pointed shape: This is not the meaning of carbuncle.
Coal: While related, "carbuncle" specifically refers to a small, glowing ember rather than just coal.
