Explanation:

Question 48

The prefix "conio - " comes from Greek and means "dust". For example, "coniophilous" means dust - loving. The other options: "heart" is related to "cardio - ", "watery" is related to "hydro - " or similar prefixes, and "vessel" is related to "angio - " or "vasculo - ".

The word "cardiomyopathy" is broken down into "cardio - " (heart), "myo - " (muscle), and "pathy" (disease). So it refers to a disease of the heart muscle. Valves problems are related to valvulopathy, coronary arteries problems to coronary artery disease, and Purkinje fibers problems are part of conduction system issues, not what "cardiomyopathy" refers to.

Answer:

dust (the option with "dust")
