Otolaryngologists specialize in identifying and treating diseases of the ears and ______.

• A. Nose
• B. Throat
• C. Brain
• D. Eyes

Answer: (B)

Otolaryngology focuses on disorders of the ear, nose, and throat. The specialty name itself comes from the roots ot- (ear), rhin- (nose), and laryng- (throat), so when asked about ears and the missing organ, the natural completion is the nose. This reflects the classic triad treated together in this field. The brain and eyes belong to other specialties (neurology and ophthalmology), not ENT.
