Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
All three (mass transit, clean power, and industry) emit air pollutants, which result in smog, the most common outdoor air pollutant in the United States. Atmospheric pollutants cause or contribute to asthma, allergic reactions, bronchitis, lung cancer, chronic respiratory disease, and death. They also harm animals and plants. The most inclusive answer refers to air pollutants, although certainly, the others are true in society today.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
In a study by Acierno et al. (2009), 1.6 of subjects report physical mistreatment, with family members accounting for 76 of the mistreatment, and specifically 57 was conducted by a partner or spouse.
