Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

B
A medium-intensity light will reduce shadows and reduce the agitation that comes with misinterpreted stimuli. A weaker-intensity light, such as the typical nightlight, may produce shadows. The snack may help minimize hunger and induce sleep but will have little effect on agitation, and the clock and family pictures may help with orientation only.
