Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Honeylike liquids can be eaten with a spoon but do not hold their shape.

Answer to Question 2

B
Hepatitis E is transmitted via the fecal-oral route; food prepared by infected food handlers may transmit the disease. Raw fruits and vegetables (e.g., fruit salad) are common sources of infection. Foods that are cooked, such as curried shrimp and Tandoori chicken, and foods prepared by street vendors, are not common sources.
