Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D
The CDC implements prevention strategies, detects and investigates health problems, and fosters safe and healthful environments. The CDC operates within the United States, not worldwide. The Department of Homeland Security is concerned with protecting the population from bioter-rorism, not the CDC.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Face-to-face visits with legislators are viewed as the most effective means of communication. Sending an e-mail, writing a letter, and attending a town hall meeting are all ways to share ideas with a legislator but are not viewed as the most effective method for sharing.
