Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

In the 1980s, it was discovered that the most common cause of ulcers is the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, or H. pylori. This germ is passed from person to person by the fecal-to-oral route, usually due to poor handwashing, or by the oral-to-oral route as well.
