Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Mesothelial cells are the lining cells of body cavities and are shed into these cavities. They can be confused with malignant cells. However, when mesothelial cells appear in clumps (a frequent occurrence), usually windows are noted between the cells. This is not true of malignant cells that are also commonly found in clumps.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The appearance of the fluid is used to determine whether or not a body fluid is diluted before counting. If the fluid is clear, then no dilution is made. If it is hazy or cloudy, then an appropriate dilution is made.
