Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The lymphocytes remain dormant until an antigen initiates clonal selection. T cells do not initiate clonal selection. B cells are antibodies. Lymphocytes are released into the circulation as immature cells that react with antigens.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Cell-mediated immunity is driven by T-cytotoxic (Tc) cells that attack antigens directly and de-stroy cells that bear foreign antigens. Lymphokine-producing cells, helper T cells, and macro-phages do not attack antigens directly and destroy cells that bear foreign antigens.
