Answer to Question 1

B
Explanation: If the term is not memorized, analysis of the answers can eliminate some of them. The thyroid does not relate to the test. Fasting means not eating and postprandial means after eating. The glucose in the question is administered, meaning not consumed as part of a meal.

Answer to Question 2

C
Explanation: A synonym for peps/o is pept/o. The other combining forms mean: phag/o, eat or swallow; pancreat/o, pancreas; and polyp/o, small growth.
