Answer to Question 1

C
SNAP provides coupons that people with low incomes can use to buy food. The Emergency Food Assistance Program provides extra food supplies for people living below the poverty level. None of the food programs provides a list of foods that meet specific nutrient and health re-quirements or provide nutrition supplements.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Symptoms of GERD can be exacerbated by foods/drinks that contribute to increase gastric acid or decrease the competence of the lower gastric sphincter when consumed. Ice cream, rice, and pasta are bland foods that should not cause irritation in the gastrointestinal tract. Alcohol causes increased gastric acid production, decreased lower esophageal sphincter pressure, and also delays gastric emptying, all factors that contribute to symptoms.
