Answer to Question 1

C
Explanation: The combining form hem/o means blood; dia-, through; and -lysis, dissolve.

B
Explanation: Because the suffixes are different in each response, analyzing just that word part will assist: -desis means surgical fixation or fusion. Further analysis confirms this correct answer, with spondyl/o meaning vertebra.
