Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Culture determines what is edible and what is inedible. Culture overrides flavor in determining what is offensive or unacceptable.

Answer to Question 2

C
Obesity increases risk of sleep apnea. Risk of osteoporosis is actually inversely related to obesity. Alcoholism is not related to obesity. Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease and is not re-lated to obesity.
