Answer to Question 1

B
An adolescent who wants to be identified as part of the popular crowd at school develops a poor self-concept if not included in that group. Family and cultural factors sometimes influence negative health practices, such as cigarette smoking.

Answer to Question 2

B
People who exercise daily for 60 minutes have a lower heart rate, lower blood pressure, de-creased cholesterol, increased blood flow, and greater oxygen extraction by working muscles. The addition of weight training has shown benefit in decreasing the work of the heart by in-creasing the efficiency of the other muscles of the body. Fully conditioned people are able to in-crease oxygen consumption by 10 to 20 because of increased cardiac output and increased efficiency of the myocardium.
