Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Time cycling occurs when the inspiratory time has elapsed.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
If it is used, it may be set directly, or it may occur indirectly if the set inspiratory time is longer than the inspiratory flow time (determined by the set tidal volume and flow; time = vol-ume/flow).
