Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
In this age group the leading cause of death is accidents, followed by homicide and suicide. Other causes of death include cancer and heart disease.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Unintentional injuries (accidents) are the leading cause of death after age 1 year through adolescence. Congenital anomalies are the leading cause of death in those younger than 1 year and are less significant in this age group. There have been major declines in deaths attributed infection as a result of improved therapies. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in this age group.
