Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Nausea and vomiting is caused by a variety of situations such as intestinal obstruction, microbial infection, gastric irritation, and equilibrium imbalance, just to name a few.

Answer to Question 2

C
Gas in the colon is often caused by fermentation of foods by intestinal bacteria. Consumption of carbonated beverages and swallowing air while eating or drinking causes belching, but not gas in the colon. Some gas is absorbed into the body through the colon wall, but not the other way around.
