Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Although the elderly have the highest rate of cancer, they are also the group having the lowest rate of early detection tests.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Certain drugs can decrease REM sleep, including alcohol. The use of aspirin has not been associated with decreased REM sleep. Obesity, type 2 diabetes, and stress have not been linked to specifically reducing the amount of REM sleep although these health problems can negatively impact sleep overall.
