Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Among women who are of child-bearing age, SLE is seen in more African-Americans, Hispanics, and Asian-Americans than Caucasians. There is no evidence that the audience asked for the information.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

The bacterial infection from otitis media may also migrate internally, leading to the development of bacterial meningitis. Otitis media is not known to cause external otitis. Otitis media does not cause pneumonia or influenza.
