Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Suppose the muscles that form the wall of your belly (the abdomen) are tight rather than relaxed when the diaphragm is contracting. As the diaphragm pushes down on the stomach, the liver, and the other abdominal organs, it will meet resistance and will not be able to descend very far. Your breathing will tend to be shallow and rather high up in the chest. In abdominal or diaphragmatic breathing, the idea is to relax your belly as much as you can. Then, as the breath comes in, the belly expands slightly (on its own) in an outward direction as the diaphragm pushes down on the contents of the abdomen from above.
