Answer 1

Ans) 1) Abscess

Explaination:

- Abscess: A confined pocket of pus that collects in tissues, organs or spaces inside the body.
When an area in the body becomes infected, the body's immune system sends white blood cells to fight the infection. These cells collect and combine with the damaged tissue and germs, creating liquid called pus.

2) Transient

Explaination:

Transient: lasting only for a short time; impermanent.

3) Stylus

Explaination:

- Stylus profilometry (contact profilometry) brings a stylus tip into direct contact with a sample in order to trace the topography of the surface. This technique is often used to measure step heights and feature sizes for samples which have etched patterns on them.

4) Diluent

Explaination:

- Diluent: A hydrocarbon fluid that is used to dilute heavy oil and reduce its viscosity for easier transportation. Generally a distillation tower cut such as naphtha is used as for heavy oil dilution and transportation.
