Answer to Question 1

C
Crops may be genetically engineered so that they produce their own natural pesticides that are harmful to insects but not to humans and animals; they therefore require use of fewer pesticides which is beneficial to the environment. Crops may also be genetically engineered to make them easier to harvest, to contain fewer common allergens, and to produce foods with a longer shelf life. However these effects would not have a direct benefit for the environment.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Alcohol is associated with a reduced risk of CVD, possibly because alcohol raises HDL, reduces platelet aggregation, and reduces inflammation; however, this is based on the limits noted above.
