Answer to Question 1

B
Explanation: The combining form nephr/o means kidney and the suffix -logist, one who studies, indicating the physician. Nephr/o/logy is the study or science of indicating the field of medicine.

Answer to Question 2

C
Explanation: The root cerebr means cerebrum, which is the largest part of the brain. The suffix -al means pertaining to. No combining vowel is needed, as the root ends with a consonant and the suffix starts with a vowel.
