Answers

1. B. Many Hispanics have two surnames: one from their father, which comes first, followed by one from their mother. Sometimes the two surnames are separated by "y," which means "and" in Spanish. Miguel Eduardo Cela y Banderas' father was Señor Cela, so that's what you call him.
2. C. There are many parts of the world where your paternal line is incorporated into your name. In this case, "bin Abdul Aziz" is a patronymic (a name derived from the first name of one's father) meaning "son of Abdul Aziz."
