Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
In classical times, large cities grew, and elaborate drainage systems were constructed. In Leviticus, the Hebrews formulated the first hygiene code. This hygiene code protected water and food by creating laws that governed personal and community hygiene, such as contagion, disinfection, and sanitation. This is best described through the building of safe sewage disposal systems. Healthy food choices and exercise, praying to the gods for preservation, and the use of medicine and other herbal measures were not among the first measures used by large communities to ensure health.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Upstream thinking actions focus on modifying economic, political, and environmental factors that are the precursors of poor health throughout the world.
