Answer to Question 1

Please could you help me with another one. Thank you

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Cooperation between the state and federal levels has been brought to the forefront with efforts to plan for bioterrorism, an event that would necessitate cooperation and sharing. In addition, the state is highly dependent on the federal level for resources and guidance. The administrative goals of the president, emphasis of Healthy People 2020, and restriction of available financial resources have not been the main factor that has led to an increase in cooperation related to public health.
