Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Fertility awareness methods (FAMs) include the rhythm method, which involves limiting sexual intercourse to the time during the woman's menstrual cycle when she is most likely to be infertile. This method does not involve contraceptive devices. Barrier methods, such as diaphragms and IUDs interfere with conception by physically preventing sperm from fertilizing ova. Barriers work through mechanical and chemical means. Hormonal methods of birth control alter a woman's normal hormone level to prevent ovulation and thus the chances for conception.
