Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Angiogenesis inhibitors suppress the formation of new blood vessels, thereby depriving solid tumors of the expanding blood supply they need for continued growth.
Angiogenesis inhibitors cannot kill tumor cells that already exist.
Angiogenesis inhibitors do not enhance collateral vessel or red cell development.
