Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
This is a realistic answer to this question. Medications for Alzheimer's disease slow the progression of the illness but do not cure or decrease the risk of the condition. Cognex does not have an effect on motor function.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Exelon is not known to cause hepatotoxicity.
