Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
In megadoses (amounts at least 10 times greater than RDA), vitamins function like drugs, not nutrients.

Answer to Question 2

C
Whole grains supply the most nutrients. When grains are refined, the bran and germ are removed and many nutrients are fiber are lost. Enrichment replaces some, but not all, of the nutrients that are removed when grains are refined. Fiber supplements contain dietary fiber, but do not contain all the other vitamins and minerals found in whole grains.
