Answer to Question 1
ANS: A
Tympanoplasty can correct a conductive hearing loss.

A total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is the removal of the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. If the ovaries are removed in these surgeries, the surgery will induce menopause and hot flashes may occur.
