Explanation:

First Question (Which of the following complications is likely to occur with untreated anorexia nervosa?):

Anorexia nervosa involves severe calorie restriction. Osteoporosis is a complication due to nutrient deficiencies (like calcium, vitamin D) and hormonal changes (low estrogen in females) from prolonged starvation, weakening bones. Diarrhea is not typical; high blood pressure and weight gain contradict anorexia’s weight loss.

Bulimia involves binge - purging cycles. Frequent vomiting (part of purging) exposes teeth to stomach acid, causing tooth decay. Extreme weight loss is more anorexia - related; lack of physical activity and eating with others aren’t specific to bulimia.
