Answer to Question 1

B
Explanation: If you do not recall the individual conditions, utilize deconstructing terms to reason it out. Patent means open, a duct is a tube in layman's terms, and arteri/o is the combining form for artery. These word parts are similar to the key ones in the question, opening between pulmonary artery and aorta, which is also an artery.

Answer to Question 2

c
Explanation:
a. hypo-: means under
b. epi-: means above
c. neo-: correct
d. supra-: means superior
