Answer to Question 1

C
Although there are many factors that contribute to the development of primary hypertension (e.g., obesity, smoking, stress, unhealthy diet), it has no single cause. (Many people with hyper-tension risk factors do not always develop hypertension.) On the other hand, secondary hyper-tension results from either another health problem or from the drug treatment of another health problem.

Answer to Question 2

A
Although some drugs have fewer side effects or more mild side effects than other drugs, every drug has at least one side effect. Not all patients taking the same drug experience all side effects or experience them to the same degree.
