Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: The distance from the outer canthus to the pinna does not apply to the face. The other measurements would be necessary when evaluating facial dysmorphic features.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: A circle is the standard symbol for a female, and darkening the circle represents a female affected by a disease. A male is represented by a square.
