Answer to Question 1

Ans:
C

Feedback:

Immune granulomas are caused by insoluble particles (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) that are capable of inciting a cell-mediated immune response. Neutrophils are deactivated, self-destructive, nor ineffective in cases of tuberculosis.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
B

Feedback:

While NHLs tend to be multicentric, Hodgkin lymphoma tends to involve a single node or group of nodes. The presence of Reed-Sternberg cells would indicate Hodgkin lymphoma, and both NHL and Hodgkin lymphoma involve secondary lymphoid structures and would cause fatigue.
