Answer to Question 1

A
Funding is justified based on the high incidence of mental illness. The origins of mental illness are multifaceted. It is overly simplistic to associate these problems with one or two variables.

Answer to Question 2

D
Research findings about the effectiveness of estrogen for prevention of AD are inconclusive; however, estrogen therapy is clearly associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events. The distracters are incorrect statements.
