Answer to Question 1

A
Explanation: Pleur/o means pleura and -dynia means pain; therefore, pleurodynia means pleural pain. Thorac/o means thorax or chest and -algia means pain; thus, thoracalgia means chest pain. -itis means inflammation, so pleuritis means inflammation of the pleura. -ectomy means surgical removal; hence, pleurectomy means surgical removal of the pleura.

Answer to Question 2

muscular
