Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Closure of the semilunar valves generates the second heart sound.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Toward the end of systole, as repolarization starts (indicated by the T wave), the ventricles begin to relax. Consequently, ventricular pressures drop rapidly. When arterial pressures exceed those in the relaxing ventricles, the semilunar valves shut.
