Answer to Question 1

B
Explanation: A simple mastectomy removes only the breast tissue. A radical mastectomy removes the breast tissue plus chest muscles and axillary lymph nodes. A modified radical mastectomy is the surgical removal of the breast tissue, the pectoris minor, and some of the adjacent lymph nodes; it leaves the pectoris major intact. A lumpectomy is the removal of a breast tumor and the tissue immediately surrounding it.

Answer to Question 2

B
Explanation: Ot/o means ear, rhin/o means nose, laryng/o means voice box, and -logy means study of; hence, otorhinolaryngology means study of the ear, nose, and voice box. Nas/o does mean nose, but otonasolaryngology is not the term commonly known for the study of the ear, nose, and voice box. Pharyng/o means pharynx, so otonasopharyngology would mean study of the ear, nose, and pharynx. Otorhinolaryngologi st is a specialist in the study of the ear, nose, and voice box.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
