Answer to Question 1

A, B, E, F, G
Alcohol, caffeine, and spicy foods irritate an existing ulcer and promote inflammation. Smoking slows cell division and can delay healing. In addition, smoking promotes acid secretion. NSAIDs inhibit prostaglandin synthesis, which reduces the amount of gel-like mucus in the stomach and increases the likelihood that ulcers will continue to form. Neither dairy products nor exercise promote ulcer formation or delay or reduce healing.

Answer to Question 2

A
The genetic material of fungi is DNA. Its construction is very similar to human DNA, and drugs that affect fungal DNA are more likely also to affect human DNA. This is one reason that hu-mans respond with more side effects to antifungal therapy than to many antibacterial or antiviral drugs.
