Answer to Question 1

D
Explanation: The prefix hemi- means half and the suffix -plegia, paralysis. This presents as involvement of the upper and lower extremity on the same side. Not to be confused with para- (alongside) -plegia (paralysis), which involves the bilateral lower extremities.

Answer to Question 2

C
Explanation: The antonym of brady- is tachy-, rapid or fast. Multi- and poly- are synonyms both meaning many.
