Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
In many areas of the country, wages needed to afford housing are three to five times higher than the federal minimum wage of 7.25 per hour.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Male veterans in communities are twice as likely to die by suicide as their civilian counterparts. There is nothing to support that these veterans will have guns in their homes. The veterans will be able to use the Veteran Affairs system for medical care and there may be challenges with their return home, but that should not be as upsetting as the risk for suicide for their loved one.
