3.  C. As I breathed as if I had a pre- asthma attack coming on, I felt as if I could barely breathe at all. It was very hard.  D. I lasted 7 seconds. It was really hard to breathe and near my heart area, it hurt. What changed was it was even more harder to breathe.

4.  E. Yes, in a highly populated city, there is more pollution, therefore it would be a lot harder to breathe. As if in a wide open country, there’s wide opened areas  With non-polluted air.
