The correct statement about the responder’s technique for giving breaths is “All of the above.”

Correct answer

In the referenced CPR/first aid question, the options describe several errors in the responder’s technique:

  • The responder kept the airway open but did not make a complete seal.
  • The responder made a complete seal but did not tilt the head back to open the airway.
  • The responder did not give two breaths, each lasting about 1 second.

Because all of these describe problems with the technique, the correct choice given is “All of the above.”

Why these details matter

For effective rescue breaths in CPR, standard guidance requires:

  • An open airway using the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver.
  • A tight seal over the person’s mouth (and pinching the nose) so air goes into the lungs.
  • About two breaths, each lasting around 1 second, watching for chest rise.

If any of these parts is done incorrectly (no seal, no head tilt, or breaths too short/too few), the breaths are not considered proper technique, which is why the question marks all three as issues and groups them under “All of the above.”

TL;DR: The correct statement is “All of the above” because each listed issue reflects an error in proper rescue-breath technique.
