Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Sabrina has no way of reducing payroll taxes (Social Security tax and Medicare tax) unless she takes a cut in salary. She can reduce her personal income tax by claiming her 3,950 personal exemption, she can deduct her mortgage interest from the mortgage she pays on her new townhouse, she can donate to charity and claim those donations as deductions, and she can deduct any contributions she may be able to make to a pension or retirement plan.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
