Answer:
A HORST is an elongated block bounded by parallel (normal, reverse, lateral) faults in such a way that it stands (above, below) the blocks on both sides. A GRABEN is a narrow block moved (upward, downward) between two (normal, reverse, lateral) faults.

A Horst represents a block pushed upward relative to the blocks on either side by the faulting, and a graben is a block generally long compared to its width that has been lowered relative to the blocks on either side due to the faulting.
