Answer to Question 1

4
Explanation: 4. Strong intensity exists when the uterine wall cannot be indented.

Answer to Question 2

2,3,5
Rationale 1: The uterine ligaments support the uterus, and are not associated with increased miscarriage.
Rationale 2: Uterine malformations such as uterus didelphys (double uterus) are associated with habitual abortion.
Rationale 3: About a fourth of women exposed to diethylstilbestrol (DES) in utero have structural variations of the cervix, uterus, and vagina. These women have increased incidence of miscarriage.
Rationale 4: If there is a bend in the area of the isthmus of the uterus, and from there the cervix points downward, the uterus is said to be anteverted or anteflexed. This is normal.
Rationale 5: Uterine malformations such as the uterus bicornuate (two-horned) are associated with habitual abortion.
