Answer to Question 1

ANS: A

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Drugs in liquid form may be administered in ways other than aerosol (e.g., intravenous IV route). By definition, an aerosol may be either solid or liquid particles suspended in a carrier gas, not just a vapor. It is possible to see aerosols, depending on the size of the particles.
