Explanation:

To solve these fill - in - the - blank questions, we analyze the context of each blank:

Question 3

• Blank 1: In a typical relaxation or meditation exercise, a common time to set a timer for is around 5 - 10 minutes. A common choice could be "5" (or other reasonable times like 10, but 5 is a common short - duration for such exercises).
• Blank 2: When focusing on breathing, the first part of the breath cycle is inhalation. So a word like "inhale" (or "breathe in") would fit. The sentence structure is "As you [action], think about your lungs inflating...", and inhaling is the action that causes lung inflation.
• Blank 3: After inhaling, we exhale. So a word like "exhale" (or "breathe out") would be appropriate. The sentence is "As you [action], think about your lungs deflating...", and exhaling is the action that causes lung deflation.
• Blank 4: This is related to the focus of the relaxation, which is the "breath" (or "breathing"). The overall context is about focusing on the breath during relaxation.

Question 4

The sentence is about visualizing or imagining yourself in a certain situation. A word like "Picture" (or "Imagine", "See") would fit. The sentence structure is "[Action] yourself feeling prepared...", and picturing oneself in that situation makes sense.
