Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Complementary therapies provide useful additional options for the treatment of pain. Medication need not have failed for alternative therapies to be considered and their effectiveness has been demonstrated. These therapies are not necessarily preferable to medications, but rather should be implemented in addition to medications. Complementary therapies may or may not prove to be effective and are not necessarily preferable to medications.

Answer to Question 2

D
The pituitary gland, located in the brain, is the master gland of the endocrine system. It has been called the master gland because through the negative feedback system it exerts its control over the other endocrine glands.
