Answer to Question 1

Purple

Rationale: Gram-positive cocci or gram-positive bacilli stain a dark purple to blue.

Answer to Question 2

Mode of exit

Rationale: It is the mode of exit--the means by which the pathogen leaves the reservoir host. The mode of transmission is the means by which the pathogen is transported from the reservoir host to another susceptible host. The reservoir host harbors the pathogen, the mode of entry is means by which the pathogen comes into the susceptible host, and the susceptible host is an organism this is able to be infected by the pathogen.
