I will tell you that the answer to Q.7 is "none", which makes me think the questions were prepared by a careless or ignorant non-native speaker. I thought this about the other questions this guy posted.

@Daijaakins,
Dasi I likewise object to our inability to edit after 15 minutes but I am attacked mercilessly from all quarters, apparently upon the basis that a2k participants are so irresponsible, compared to other sites of this sort where this period is hours, days, or even indefinitely

What's the difference between a food intolerance and food allergy?

Answer
from James T C Li, M.D., Ph.D. : A food intolerance can cause some of the same signs and symptoms as a food allergy, so people often confuse the two.

Contrex: A food intolerance can cause some of the same signs and symptoms as a food allergy, so people often confuse the two.

James T C Li, M.D., Ph.D.: A true food allergy causes an immune system reaction that affects numerous organs in the body. It can cause a range of symptoms. In some cases, an allergic food reaction can be severe or life-threatening. In contrast, food intolerance symptoms are generally less serious and are limited to digestive problems.
