The answer is the second one (or B): sphenoid; pituitary.

Explanation for each option:

  1. sphenoid; thymus: Incorrect. The sella turcica is indeed part of the sphenoid bone, but it does not house the thymus gland. The thymus is located in the chest, behind the sternum.
  2. sphenoid; pituitary: Correct. The sella turcica is a saddle-shaped depression in the sphenoid bone that houses the pituitary gland.
  3. ethmoid; pituitary: Incorrect. The ethmoid bone is a different bone located in the skull, but it does not contain the sella turcica. The pituitary gland is housed in the sella turcica of the sphenoid bone.
  4. ethmoid; thymus: Incorrect. This option is incorrect for both parts. The ethmoid bone does not house the sella turcica, and the thymus gland is not located in the skull.

Summary: The sella turcica is part of the sphenoid bone and houses the pituitary gland.

Read the sentences from Barrio Boy by Ernesto Galarza. I grabbed the chain with both hands and pulled. A small torrent of water gushed into the bowl, swirling and disappearing down the drain with a deep, sonorous gargle. I waited a few minutes and pulled the chain again. That night I got up several times to go to the toilet, until I was ordered to go to sleep. Why does Ernesto go to the toilet several times? He has an upset stomach. He is fascinated by the invention. He drank a lot of water with his dinner. He is trying to get his mother's attention.

Example 2 Consider the function f with the rule: f(x) = 1.5(1-x^2) if 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 0 if x > 1 or x < 0 a Sketch the graph of f. b Show that f is a probability density function. c Find Pr(X > 0.5), where the random variable X has probability density function f. Solution a For 0 ≤ x ≤ 1, the graph of y=f(x) is part of a parabola with intercepts at (0,1.5) and (1,0).
