Answer to Question 1

D
Although it is well known that a deficiency in calcium plays a role in the development of osteoporosis, it is not so well known that a lack of fluoride can also result in osteoporosis. Fluoride plays a significant role in bone and dental integrity. Although all the other minerals listed are important to normal body functioning, fluoride is specifically linked to bone metabolism.

Answer to Question 2

A
Hairless, transparent, shiny skin is a symptom of decreased peripheral circulation. Varicose veins (response B) are distended veins. Inflammation and redness (response C) are symptoms of infection or deep vein thrombosis. Pedal edema (response D) is a classic symptom of congestive heart failure. In congestive heart failure, the heart is an ineffective pump, and excess fluid moves into dependent interstitial spaces.

This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
