Answer to Question 1

B
Explanation: The jejunum, duodenum, and ileum are all segments of the small intestine.

Answer to Question 2

B
Explanation: The fall leads to trauma of the tissues and leakage of the blood vessels called contusions. Although petechiae produce similar discoloration, it is a sign of a circulatory disorder, not trauma. The skin is not broken as it is with abrasions and lesions.
