Answer to Question 1

B
Explanation: The other combining forms mean scler/o, hard; kerat/o, horny tissue referencing keratin; and crypt/o, hidden.

Answer to Question 2

C
Explanation: Cyst/o means bladder and -plasty means surgical repair; therefore, cystoplasty means surgical repair of the bladder. -ostomy means surgically create an opening, so cystostomy is creating an opening into the bladder. -pexy means surgical fixation; thus, cystopexy means surgical fixation of the bladder. -scope means instrument to visually examine, so cystoscope means instrument to visually examine the bladder.
