Answer to Question 1

A
Adjuvants are medications that enhance the analgesic effects of opiates.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
A tablet given by sublingual application (drug placed under the tongue) is left to dissolve slowly and become absorbed by the rich blood supply in the area. Sublingual administration is made effective by virtue of proximity to the CNS, the potentiating effect of saliva or avoidance of digestive enzymes.
