Explanation:

Question 13

To determine the meaning of "hemorrhage", we analyze the options:

• "pus overflowing" is incorrect as hemorrhage relates to blood, not pus.
• "many red blood cells" is incorrect (that would be related to terms like polycythemia).
• "internal bleeding" is a common result of hemorrhage, but the etymology of "hemorrhage" (from Greek "haimorrhagē" meaning blood bursting forth) matches "blood bursting forth" more closely in terms of the root meaning.
• "blood bursting forth" aligns with the etymological and basic definition of hemorrhage (excessive bleeding, often with a sense of sudden or forceful blood loss).

To define the word part "af-", we recall prefix meanings:

• "vessel" is incorrect (related to terms like "vas-").
• "bring" is incorrect (unrelated to "af-").
• "quickly" is incorrect (not the meaning of "af-").
• "af-" is a prefix that can mean "toward" (it is a variant of "ad-" which means toward, adapted to certain roots).

Answer:

A. blood bursting forth
