Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The laryngeal mask airway is the only airway that has a cuff that rests in the posterior pharynx, with its tip on the upper esophageal sphincter.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A tongue blade can be used during the insertion of an oropharyngeal airway to move the tongue to one side. Intermittent pressure might cause damage and bleeding to the inside of the nasal cavity. An Endotrol tube is an endotracheal tube that allows for the manipulation of the tip of the tube. It does not facilitate insertion of a nasal airway.
