Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Pectus excavatum is a congenital malformation of the chest wall that is characterized by a pronounced funnel-shaped concave depression over the lower end of the sternum. Children with this malformation have displacement of the heart and lung tissue.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
In hypoplastic left heart syndrome, the left ventricle is severely underdeveloped, leaving the right ventricle overloaded, which results in complete heart failure.
