Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Gluten-sensitive enteropathy, formerly called celiac sprue or celiac disease, is an autoimmune disease that damages small intestinal villous epithelium. Celiac disease affects the villi, not the glands, the walls of smooth muscle, or sphincters.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Kwashiorkor is a severe dietary deficiency of protein. Kwashiorkor is not associated with a die-tary deficiency of fat-soluble vitamins, carbohydrates, or minerals such as calcium and magnesi-um.
