Answer to Question 1

C
The stomach performs three tasks: storage of swallowed food and liquid; mixing of food, liquid, and digestive juices; and emptying of contents into small intestine. The duodenum is approxi-mately 2 feet long and continues to process chyme from the stomach. The large intestine is the primary organ of bowel elimination.

Answer to Question 2

C
To remember a dream, a person must consciously think about it on awakening. People who recall dreams vividly usually awaken just after a period of REM sleep.
