Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Obesity and lack of exercise are closely associated with the development of diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, hypertension, colon cancer, and postmenopausal breast cancer. Environmental toxins have not been linked to these illnesses. Hyperlipidemia is associated with these illnesses. The causal link for heredity is not as strong as for obesity.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C
Sites ending with .gov are U.S. federal government sites. Examples are sites sponsored by the Center for Communicable Diseases, National Institutes for Health, and Department of Defense. Government sites are carefully monitored for accuracy. A .edu site is sponsored by an educational facility, such as a university. These sites are usually credible. A .com site may promote a product. For example, a drug company might promote information about one of its drugs. A domain name that ends in .net refers to infrastructure machines and organizations. For example, a provider of Internet service might be called Constellation.net.
