Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B

Feedback:

Only long-living fish such as tuna and swordfish concentrate the mercury from sediment in quantities sufficient to pose a risk. It is not necessary to categorically avoid fish, and salmon poses a low risk. Risks are not insignificant, though they are not particularly high.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
D

Feedback:

Chemotherapy and radiation treatment both preferentially affect rapidly proliferating cells that include some normal body cells, such as epithelial and hair follicle cells, as well as cancer cells.
