Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Table 41-7 lists the approximate air-to-O2 ratios for several common O2 percentages.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
In the presence of flow resistance distal to the jet, the volume of air entrained always decreases. With less air being entrained, total flow output decreases, and the delivered O2 concentration in-creases.
