Answer to Question 1

B
Chalazion is an internal stye caused by infection of the meibomian gland.

Answer to Question 2

D
The combination of alcohol and cigarettes increases the risk for throat cancer. However, males are four times more likely to develop throat cancer than women, and the male patient consuming vodka drinks is consuming significantly more alcohol than the female patient who smokes ciga-rettes. Coffee and carbonated drink consumption has not been found to increase the risk of throat cancer.
