Explanation:

Question 33

To solve this, we analyze medical terminology roots:

• "arthro-" refers to joint.
• "-gram" refers to a record (like X - ray film/recording).
• "electroarthrograph" has "electro - " (unrelated to joint X - ray).
• "axilloscopy" has "axillo - " (relating to armpit, not joint) and "-scopy" (examination, not recording).
• "cubitography" has "cubito - " (relating to elbow, not general joint) and "-graphy" (process of recording, but root is wrong). So "arthrogram" is correct as it combines "arthro - " (joint) and "-gram" (recording).

We recall the etymology of "strain". In Old French, "strain" (from Latin roots too) has the meaning of "to draw tight". "Spasm" is a sudden muscle contraction, "twisting motion" is different, and "to wring" is more about twisting and squeezing. So the correct meaning is "to draw tight".

Answer:

B. arthro/gram
