Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: Celiac sprue is an autoimmune disease that causes atrophy rather than inflammation to intestinal villi. Large losses of intestinal fluid and loss of zinc result from inflammatory bowel disease. Steatorrhea, or fatty diarrhea, causes malabsorption of calcium.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
A study showed that the use of supplements significantly improved the status of several vitamins in elderly people, particularly for vitamins B1, B2, B12, folate, and vitamin D.
