Answer to Question 1

A
In utilitarian thinking, a problem would be weighed to find a solution that would promote the best outcomes for the greatest number of individuals. Individual needs are weighed against the needs of the whole. Positive outcomes for the greatest number of individuals is the basis for utilitarian thinking. Each situation is addressed individually, but with the basic premise of utilitarian thinking.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale:
1. The hypothalamus secretes gonadotropin-releasing hormone to the pituitary gland in response to signals from the central nervous system.
2. The ovaries secrete the female hormone of estrogen and progesterone, and the testes secrete testosterone.
3. The posterior pituitary gland secretes oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone.
4. The anterior pituitary secretes FSH and LH, which are primarily responsible for maturation of the ovarian follicle.
