Explanation:

1. In anatomical terms, "distal" means farther from the attachment point of a limb to the body. Fingertips are farther from the shoulder (attachment - point of the arm) compared to other parts of the arm, so they are distal to the shoulder.
2. "Superior" means above or higher in position. The head is above the pelvis in the anatomical position, so it is superior to the pelvis.
3. "Anterior" means in front of. The heart is in front of the spine, so it is anterior to the spine.

Answer:

1. B. distal
2. A. superior
3. B. anterior
