Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Although each of the questions is appropriate to ask in order to increase understanding of cultural diversity, only one relates to food patterns.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Personalistic health beliefs suggest that illness is caused by magical powers and is cured by rituals. Wearing amulets offers protection from illness and may sometimes be considered curative. The other statements are consistent with beliefs in biomedicine.
