Answer to Question 1

A
The villi are covered with microvilli that enhance absorption. Hormones are not found inside the digestive tract. Enzymes cause digestion of food, not absorption. The layers of circular and lon-gitudinal muscle are around the outside of the gastrointestinal tract, not on the inside lining.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: Foods that are made mostly from oats are high in soluble fiber. Examples are oat bran and oatmeal. English muffins, puffed rice, and pita bread are typically made from wheat.
