1 squeeze: The verb "to squeeze" refers to the action of applying physical force or pressure. Example: Don't squeeze my arm so hard, it hurts. In the dialogue, Icarus tells Donna and Brian that his tie plays music when you "squeeze it". We often talk about freshly "squeezed" juice, which is delicious.
2 nasty: This is the correct choice. The term "nasty" refers to something that is unpleasant. Brian uses the term to describe the type of tricks he will play on people using his new voodoo doll. The term "nasty" can also be used to describe someone who is cruel or vicious. Example: He is a very nasty man because he always kicks my dog.

This means Brian might have the following symptoms:
| a runny | nose 1 |

1 nose: The "common cold" is a respiratory disorder caused by a viral or bacterial infection. When we have a cold, one of the symptoms is a "runny nose" - our bodies producing mucus that exits through the nose. If something is "runny", it "runs" or shares characteristics with a liquid. Example: I love runny cheeses like really mature camembert!
1 throat: We don't say "runny throat"!
1 cough: We don't say "runny cough"!
2 throat: If something is "sore", then it hurts or is painful. The "throat" is a passage in the neck through which food and air pass on their way into the body. Therefore, a "sore throat" is a painful throat or a throat that hurts. A "cold" may include a throat infection, hence pain in the throat. Example: I'm eating soup because I've got a sore throat (it hurts when I swallow).
2 nose: A "sore nose" is not usually a symptom of a cold.
2 cough: Oops! We don't usually say "sore cough".
3 cough: A "cough" is a violent release of air from the lungs. We "cough" to clear our breathing passages of mucus and microbes. We often say a "nasty cough" to express that the cough is particularly unpleasant. We often describe medical conditions as being "nasty". For example, in the form, Brian writes that he had a "nasty headache".
3 throat: Perhaps we would say a "nasty throat infection". But a "nasty throat" is unusual.
3 nose: A "nasty nose"? I don't think we would say this!
