Answer to Question 1

A
Road accidents are the primary danger to adolescents. Diabetes is an important issue but is not the leading cause of death. Homicide is the second cause of death, and suicide is the third.

Answer to Question 2

A
The deformed sickle cells cause painful infarcts in the gastrointestinal tracts. Although the spleen may be enlarged, the onset of pain is not sudden unless there is a splenic sequestration.
