Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
A person with normal body temperature is referred to as afebrile.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Any condition causing an increase in carbon dioxide and a decrease in oxygen in the blood tends to increase the rate and depth of respirations. An increase in carbon dioxide is the most powerful respiratory stimulant.
