Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Allergic rhinitis, or hay fever, results from a sensitivity reaction to allergens such as plant pollens. It tends to occur seasonally. Acute viral rhinitis is the common cold. The etiology of vasomotor rhinitis is unknown. Although its manifestations are similar to those of allergic rhinitis, it is not linked to allergens. Atrophic rhinitis is characterized by changes in the mucous membrane of the nasal cavities.
