Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Obstruction of the intrathoracic airways (as occurs with asthma) results in a prolonged exhalation time because airways within the chest tend to narrow more on exhalation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A significant reduction in lung volume, such as that which occurs with atelectasis, usually results in rapid, shallow breathing.
