Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Although only one third of all motor vehicle accidents occur in rural areas, two thirds of the deaths attributed to these accidents occur on rural roads. Only about 10 (not 5) of physicians practice in rural America despite that nearly one fourth of the population lives in these areas. Rural residents are nearly twice (not three times) as likely to die from unintentional injuries other than motor vehicle accidents than are urban residents. Abuse of alcohol and use of smokeless tobacco are a significant problem among rural youth (not older adults).
