Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Diet is the initial treatment before drug therapy is introduced. The goal is to eliminate the need for medication in people with stage 1 hypertension.

Answer to Question 2

B
Villi increase the surface area of the small intestine which makes it possible for it to absorb more nutrients. Digestion occurs in the small intestine, but is not a function of the villi. Excretion and elimination do not occur in the small intestine.
