2. nonsteroidal anti - inflammatory drugs
3. nonsteroidal anti - infection drugs and nonsteroidal anti - inflammatory drugs
4. none of these

Explanation:

First Question (Building a medical term for "muscle tone"):

• Analyze each option:
• Myocele: "Myo-" means muscle, "-cele" means hernia. So it means muscle hernia, not muscle tone.
• Myolysis: "Myo-" + "-lysis" (destruction). Means muscle destruction, not tone.
• Myosclerosis: "Myo-" + "-sclerosis" (hardening). Means hardening of muscle, not tone.
• Myotasis: "Myo-" + "-tasis" (stretching). Means muscle stretching, not tone.
• Myotonia: "Myo-" (muscle) + "-tonia" (tone). So this means muscle tone.

• Recall the definition of NSAID. NSAID is a common medical abbreviation. The correct expansion is nonsteroidal anti - inflammatory drugs. Option 1 is incorrect as it's anti - infection (NSAIDs are anti - inflammatory, not mainly anti - infection). Option 3 is incorrect as it combines two incorrect/non - standard expansions. Option 4 is incorrect as option 2 is correct.

Answer:

1. Myotonia
