Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A Incorrect. Though the infant has an involuntary grasp reflex, it can also release the object.
B Incorrect. The loss of the involuntary grasp reflex occurs within the first month of life; the birth weight takes about 6 months to double.
C Correct. During the first month of life, a primitive grasp reflex enables the infant to hold objects with a tightly clenched fist. Before the infant is able to willingly grasp a toy, it must first lose the involuntary grasp reflex.
D Incorrect. The loss of the involuntary grasp reflex occurs within the first month of life; the ability to sit up takes much longer.

Answer to Question 2

C
Anthrax is the most likely bacterial agent. Ricin is a toxin, sarin is a chemical agent, and smallpox is viral.
