Explanation:

First Question:

• EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) focuses on environmental protection.
• FDA (Food and Drug Administration) is responsible for regulating food, drugs, and medical devices safety.
• FTC (Federal Trade Commission) deals with consumer protection and antitrust issues.
• USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) focuses on agriculture, food production, and related areas but not primarily on drugs and medical devices safety like FDA.

• Insurance premium billed monthly, posted x - ray price, and copay on the card are typically known or disclosed healthcare costs.
• Parking fees at the hospital are often not prominently associated with healthcare costs in the same way as the others and can be considered a hidden cost as patients may not anticipate or consider them as part of healthcare costs initially.

• Anecdote is a single personal story or experience. Evidence is based on systematic data collection, research, and analysis.
• The first option has the definitions reversed. The third option is incorrect as they are not the same. The fourth option is wrong as anecdotes do not always prove causation.
