Answer to Question 1

B
Explanation: A simple mastectomy removes only the breast tissue. A radical mastectomy removes the breast tissue plus chest muscles and axillary lymph nodes. A modified radical mastectomy is the surgical removal of the breast tissue, the pectoris minor, and some of the adjacent lymph nodes; it leaves the pectoris major intact. A lumpectomy is the removal of a breast tumor and the tissue immediately surrounding it.

Answer to Question 2

B
Explanation: Ot/o means ear, rhin/o means nose, laryng/o means voice box, and -logy means study of; hence, otorhinolaryngology means study of the ear, nose, and voice box. Nas/o does mean nose, but otonasolaryngology is not the term commonly known for the study of the ear, nose, and voice box. Pharyng/o means pharynx, so otonasopharyngology would mean study of the ear, nose, and pharynx. Otorhinolaryngologi st is a specialist in the study of the ear, nose, and voice box.
