Answer to Question 1

B
Singulair provides both bronchodilation and anti-inflammatory effects, but it has numerous GI side effects and is not effective in controlling acute asthmatic attacks.

Answer to Question 2

B
Spray-on tanning solution is the safest. All other options increase ultraviolet exposure, even with the use of sunscreen.
