Pneumothorax is a condition in which a puncture has allowed aur to enter the chest cavity. the air puts pressure on the lungs preventing them from expanding. why would this cause short and shallow inspiration?
a) lung volume cannot decrease as much and so air pressure cannot increase
b) lung volume cannot increase as much and so air pressure cannot decrease
c) lung volume cannot increase as much and so air pressure cannot increase
d) lung volume cannot decrease as much and so air pressure cannot decrease

I think its b because it can hurt your tissues and it will cause you not to breathe

B) lung volume cannot increase as much and so air pressure cannot decrease

Explanation:

If air will enter the chest cavity then lung will not find proper space to expand. As we all know that pressure and volume both have inverse relation that means an increase in volume leads to decrease in pressure. In short, if volume increases, pressure decreases.

In normal condition, if air enters lungs, the lungs withstand the increased air pressure by expanding themselves. Expansion of lungs volume reduce the pressure which air exerts on them.

But, in pneumothorax condition since the chest cavity where lungs are situated is filled with air so when air will enter the lungs, the lungs will not find required space to expand and air pressure will not decrease leading to short and shallow inspiration.

what is this saying?

the  different  of  these  two  are  that  they  differently  handle  their  team.

an  expressive  leader  focuses  on  the  task  at  hand  and  make  sures  that  their  goal  is  achieved.  they  accurately  finish  the  task.  an  instrumental  leader  on  the  other  hand  works  on  the  unity  of  the  group,  they  care  more  about  their  employees.  all  the  while  creating  a  good  environment.
