Answer to Question 1

tonsill

Answer to Question 2

D
Explanation: Myring/o means eardrum and -otomy means cutting into; therefore, myringotomy means cutting into the eardrum. Tympan/o means eardrum and -ectomy means surgical removal; thus, tympanectomy means surgical removal of eardrum. -plasty means surgical repair, so myringoplasty means surgical repair of eardrum. -pathy means disease, so tympanopathy means disease of the eardrum.
