Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The Newtonian uses only a curved main mirror and a small flat secondary. The primary for the Cassegrain also needs a hole to be drilled in its center, and its small secondary is convex in shape, harder to make than the flat for the Newtonian.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes.
