Answer:

A new born baby can turn blue when there is not enough oxygen rich blood in his body

Explanation:

TGV - Transposition of the great arteries is a defective heart condition that occurs from birth. The two great arteries are the aorta and pulmonary artery. The aorta carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body while the pulmonary artery carries oxygen deficient blood from the body to the lungs

Normally the aorta which is supposed to be connected to the left ventricle and supply oxygen rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body is transposed. Meaning that it is instead connected to the right ventricle and carries oxygen-deficient blood to the body.

Conversely in  TGV situation, the pulmonary artery is connected to the left ventricle (instead of the right ventricle) and carries oxygen rich (instead of oxygen-deficient) blood to the lungs.

The result is that the new born baby body has oxygen deficient blood and hence begins to burn blue (cyanotic)

Quiz Read the verse.
aleksley [76]

Answer:

B).  It will leave the next day.

Explanation:

The poem 'Raven' penned by Edgar Allan Poe explores the theme of regret, mental uncertainty, death, and lost love. In the given excerpt, the speaker asserts that 'On the morrow, he will leave me' for the Raven and becomes completely despaired. He becomes completely dejected thinking that 'tomorrow Raven will also leave(die)' like the 'other friends of him along with his hopes have flown(died) before.'

The speaker longed to see his love 'Lenore' in heaven again but this 'nevermore' from the bird makes him accept that the Raven(sense of loss and grief) will stay with him forever. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.
