Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Some Blacks may have bluish lips and a dark line on the gingival margin; this appearance is a normal finding.

Answer to Question 2

The person should feel firm pressure but no pain. Sinus areas are tender to palpation in persons with chronic allergies or an acute infection (sinusitis).
