Answer to Question 1

ability to absorb more scatter before reaching the image receptor

Rationale: Higher ratio grids are more efficient as they are able to absorb more scatter before reaching the image receptor to help achieve a shorter scale contrast.

Answer to Question 2

tangential

Rationale: A tangential or skimming beam will best image the sesamoids in profile and free of superimposition. The foot is dorsiflexed and a perpendicular beam is aligned to skim the posterior aspect of the metatarsophalangeal joint.
