Answer to Question 1

D
Failure to menstruate indicates that body fat levels are too low. Recent weight loss, appetite, and family weight status may help understand why the woman is thin, but would not indicate whether her weight is below a healthy range.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Eating American food may symbolize status and make people feel more connected to their new culture. Children tend to adopt new ways quickly as they learn from other children at school.
