Answer to Question 1

A
Crackers provide carbohydrates in the form of polysaccharides.
Orange juice and sugar will increase the blood sugar, but not provide a slow-burning carbo-hydrate to sustain the blood sugar.
Milk is a disaccharide and orange juice is a monosaccharide. This will provide an increase in blood sugar but will not sustain to level.
This provides only monosaccharides.

Answer to Question 2

C
Because the infant is wet with amniotic fluid and blood, heat loss by evaporation occurs quickly.
