Explanation:

1. For question 46: Blood pressure is highest in arteries (due to direct pumping from the heart) and lowest in veins. The original statement reverses this, so we correct the key terms.
2. For question 47: The difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure is called pulse pressure, not blood pressure deficit.

Answer:

1. Circle "veins" and "arteries"; write "arteries" and "veins" in the blank (corrected statement: Blood pressure is highest in the arteries and lowest in the veins.)
2. Circle "blood pressure deficit"; write "pulse pressure" in the blank (corrected statement: The difference between two blood pressures is referred to as pulse pressure.)
