Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Automated reticulocyte counting improved all of the listed problems encountered in manual reticulocyte counting. This has resulted in an improvement in precision and accuracy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Automated methods use various dyes that bind to RNA and thus allow for counting of reticulocytes by either optical scatter or fluorescence.
