Answer to Question 1

B
Explanation: The word root provides the general meaning of the word. The combining vowel makes it possible to pronounce long medical terms and to combine parts. The suffix is added to the end of a term to add meaning, such as a condition, disease, or procedure. The prefix is added to the beginning of the term and gives us information such as the location of an organ, the number of parts, or the time (frequency).

Answer to Question 2

Of the six eye muscles, four are rectus muscles and two are oblique muscles. Rectus muscles allow one to see up, down, right, and left. Oblique muscles allow the eyes to be turned in order to see upper left and upper right, lower left and lower right. They also help maintain the shape of the eyeball.
