Answer to Question 1

B
The average baby doubles the birth weight by 6 months of age and triples it by 1 year of age.

Answer to Question 2

B, D, E
Liver transplant, partial liver transplant, and the Kasai procedure are the surgical options. Vitamins A and D are fat-soluble and, therefore, cannot be metabolized. Corticosteroids are not a treatment choice for this condition.
