Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
These are signs and symptoms of plumbism or lead poisoning. One of the most common causes of lead poisoning in children is the ingestion of leaded paint chips. A 1978 federal law prohibiting the use of lead in paints has reduced the number of lead poisoning cases. Individuals living in older homes, usually in inner cities, remain at risk.
