3) has blocked
4) is blocking

please suggest what should come in place of blocked.

Parallel marker- both

both x and y

x- logged in the throat
y- blocking breathing

2 is your right answer. Please post the correct answer

this problem doesn't look like it's official; there are only four answer choices, and the problem is not written in the style of the official problems.
therefore, unless proof is submitted, in the form of a screenshot, that this is an actual problem from the GMAT PREP exam -- the only type of problem that is allowed to be posted in this folder -- we are going to delete this thread shortly.
thanks.
