Answer to Question 1

C
Explanation: The term ot/o/pathy means disease of the ear. The correct spelling of the other terms is an/acusis, ot/algia, and ot/itis. Note that in ot/itis, the root ot is used, as the combining vowel o is not needed to attach the suffix -itis, which begins with a vowel.

Answer to Question 2

B
Explanation: The term is a Latin word that means intense cough. It is commonly known as whooping cough because of the noise produced at the end of a cough when the larynx spasms, producing a long inspirational noise.
