Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Vitamin C, which can be found in orange juice, improves the absorption of iron.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Vitamin B12 is generated from the digestion of protein in the stomach. If part of the stomach is gone (gastrectomy), there is less digestive potential for vitamin B12.
