Answer to Question 1

FALSE
Explanation: Neoplasms can be benign or malignant.

Answer to Question 2

A
Explanation: Appendic/o means appendix and -itis means inflammation; therefore, appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix. Append/o does mean appendix, but appenditis is not the medical term we use. -pathy means disease, so appendicopathy means appendix disease. -osis means abnormal condition; thus, appendicosis would mean abnormal condition of the appendix.
