Answer to Question 1

C
In 1986, the False Claims Act was modified to encourage whistle-blowers to come forward and report
information regarding a violation of a law, rule, regulation, or a substantial and specific danger to
public health or safety. The Edmunds-Tucker Act (1887) prohibited polygamy in the United States,
and the Taft-Hartley Amendments to the Wagner Act allowed employees of nonprofit organizations to
unionize. Various states such as Connecticut (2003) have state anti-fraud acts that prohibit fraudulent
activities.

Answer to Question 2

B
The comment You are so thoughtful, is expressing appreciation, which shows gratitude. An example
of providing information would be It is common for people with pneumonia to be tired.. The
statement It is okay to cry conveys acceptance. Conveying reassurance is reflected in the comment
I can assure you that tomorrow will be better..
