Answer to Question 1

D
A number of abnormal pulmonary conditions can cause the trachea to deviate from its normal position. For example, a tension pneumothorax, pleural effusion, or tumor mass may push the trachea to the unaffected side (in this case to the left), whereas atelectasis pulls the trachea to the affected side (in this case to the right).

Answer to Question 2

A
Increased lymphocytes will be seen in response to a viral infection. Monocytes and basophils will increase with a bacterial infection. Platelets are involved in blood clotting.
