formation

vein : pain
vessel : in chest
artery : pain
Question 9
In medical terminology, the suffix “-graph” (or related “-graphy”) typically refers to an instrument used to record (e.g., electrocardiograph records heart activity). “Formation” is not associated with “-graph”, “to separate” is incorrect (e.g., “-sect” means to cut/separate), and “abnormal reduction in number” is unrelated (e.g., “-penia” is for reduction). So the correct option is "instrument used to record".
“Angina” comes from Latin meaning “vessel” (in the context of blood vessels, often arteries) and “pectoris” means “of the chest” (from “pectus” meaning chest). Let's analyze options: “vessel : clot” is wrong (clot is not “pectoris”); “vein : pain” – “angina” isn't “vein” and “pectoris” isn't “pain”; “artery : pain” – “pectoris” isn't “pain”; “vessel : in chest” matches “angina” (vessel) and “pectoris” (of the chest/in chest).
