Answer to Question 1

B, C
The solution being prescribed is an isotonic solution. 5 dextrose in water, lactated Ringer solu-tion, and 0.9 sodium chloride are all isotonic solutions, whereas 0.45 sodium chloride is a hypotonic solution, and 5 dextrose in 0.9 sodium chloride is a hypertonic solution.

Answer to Question 2

B
Travel documentaries are colorful and do not have a plot to follow. Cartoons are juvenile, opera does not have universal appeal, and the two-part drama would require long attention spans and good short-term memory.
