Explanation:

• Question 118: The prefix "macro -" means large. The suffix "-phage" comes from the Greek word "phagein" which means to eat. So "Macro/phage" literally means large/eater.
• Question 119: "Polio -" refers to gray (matter). "Myel -" refers to the spinal cord. "-itis" means inflammation. "Anterior" refers to the front (frontal). So "Anterior Polio/myel/itis" means inflammation of the spinal cord frontal gray horn.
• Question 120: "Serosanguinous" drainage is a combination of serum (clear fluid) and blood (due to the "sanguin -" part which relates to blood). So it would resemble blood.

Answer:

• Question 118: Large/eater
• Question 119: inflammation of the spinal cord frontal gray horn
