Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
A lacto-ovo vegetarian diet is encouraged among the Hindus, with pork being avoided by the most devotees. Because the bacon touched the other food, it would be most appropriate to return it to the kitchen and request a replacement meal.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Some African Americans believe that ill health is due to bad luck or fate. Home remedies and natural therapies may be frequently used.
