Answer to Question 1

D
When free air is in the pleural space, transillumination will result in increased illumination on the affected side. This would confirm a pneumothorax.

Answer to Question 2

A
Fibrosis of lung parenchyma and alveolar-capillary destruction will be among the changes found in the lungs of patients with a fungal infection. Hyperinflation and mucosal edema are not typically found.
