2K: This has been rampant on the Maine coast this winter, & at least one of my friends got hit by it. And they are not computer savvy, so their friends had to explain *why* their computer was locked up. Reportedly a local hospital paid the data-hijackers; they had to, to keep running.

7K: kind of weird someone so smart didn't know standard paper is 8-1/2 x 11

50K: Immediately rule out C, as sideburns grow on both sides of face. Think 50/50 will leave A & C, but do it anyway. I was going for A. Sad to see a physician & someone who is serving her community so well go down on an anatomy Q.

Nihil obstat®. The word "glabella" became popular in these parts because of a University of Kentucky basketball player, Anthony Davis (now with the New Orleans Pelicans), who sports a unibrow.

I wonder if the word "copy" made her think of photography, where 8 x10 is a common size, although there is no standard.

Huh? So do eyebrows. Mustaches and beards do too, for that matter.

Also, a word like "glabella" isn't necessarily singular. It could be a neuter plural like labia (sorry for the example).
