Answer to Question 1

3
The rise in HIV has lead to an increase in TB because the disease depresses the immune system. Chemotherapy is not always effective, especially in the new drug-resistant strains.

Answer to Question 2

Choice No. 3 is not a reason for cohabitation because food stamps and budget management are not always shared when people live together.
