    A. A) An instrument used to measure a person’s hearing ability. It is an electric device that produces acoustic stimuli of known frequency and intensity for the measurement of hearing.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is a) An audiometer is an instrument used to measure a person's hearing ability. It is an electric device that produces acoustic stimuli of known frequency and intensity for the measurement of hearing. This instrument is commonly used in audiology clinics and medical settings to assess a person's hearing loss or to determine the effectiveness of hearing aids or other interventions. The audiometer generates different tones at varying volumes, and the individual being tested will indicate when they can hear the sound. The results are then used to determine the person's hearing thresholds and diagnose any hearing impairments.

    A. A) It is a method by which a rescuer breathes for a casualty who is in respiratory arrest.
    Explanation
    Expired Air Resuscitation (EAR) is a method in which a rescuer breathes for a casualty who is in respiratory arrest. This technique involves giving breaths to the person by sealing their mouth and nose with the rescuer's mouth, and then exhaling into their lungs. The purpose of EAR is to provide oxygen to the person's body and help maintain blood circulation until professional medical help arrives. This method can be crucial in saving the life of someone who is unable to breathe on their own.
