Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The genetic literature suggests that there is a strong heritability factor for obesity. Although no simple genetic defect has been found for obesity, it is clear that there are important differences in metabolism that result in some persons easily gaining weight during periods of access to high energy diet, while others appear to be resistant to gaining weight. Finally, genetic mutations in feeding relevant pathways (e.g., leptin, MC-4R) in animals are routinely found to produce overeating and weight gain. Animals are not commonly thought of as having a weak will.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
