Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The abnormal granules in Alder-Reilly anomaly are deep-purple to lilac granules that can be mistaken for toxic granulation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Pelger-Hut cells, because they often have bilobed nuclei, may be mistaken for band neutrophils or metamyelocytes. Those with a round nucleus may be mistakenly reported as myelocytes. This left shift is characteristic of a bacterial infection.
