Answer to Question 1

A
Explanation: The prefix para- means alongside or in this case abnormal. The root esthesi means sensation. The other choices could also be eliminated by deconstructing portions of them: -algia, pain; hyper-, excessive; and -asthenia, weakness.

Answer to Question 2

D
Explanation: The term is derived from the Latin word palpitatus, meaning throbbing.
