5. Answer is: a. tennis elbow

Tennis elbow is a painful inflammation of the elbow joint caused by repetitive stress (overuse). The pain is located on the outside (lateral side) of the elbow, but may radiate down the back of your forearm. You'll likely feel the pain when you straighten or fully extend your arm.

6. Answer is: a. backward blow to the front of the upper arm while it is raised to the side.
