Answer to Question 1

A
Crackers provide glucose and milk provides lactose. Either will provide both fast- and slow-burning elements that promote a more steady recovery.

Answer to Question 2

D
Varicella (chickenpox) is highly contagious. Although the baby inherits immunity from the mother, it would not be safe to expose either the mother or the baby.
