Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Allopathic medical care is particularly effective when aggressive treatment is needed in emergency or acute situations. However, allopathic medical care has not been totally effective in dealing with chronic illness, a persistent problem. Increasingly, complementary and alternative therapies are being used as an answer to the problem of chronic illness.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B, C, D
Holistic approaches to food choices include eliminating cola drinks, reducing refined sugar, and adopting a primarily vegetarian diet. Substituting aspartame for sugar is not an example of a holistic approach to food choices.
