Answer to Question 1

A
Explanation: A) Correct Rhin/o- means nose and -phyma means growth; tumor.
B) Upper respiratory infection (URI) may make the nose red, but there is no hypertrophy.
C) Sinusitis affects the sinuses, not the nose.
D) Epistaxis is a nosebleed, not hypertrophy of the nose.

Answer to Question 2
