6) A 46-year-old, mild obese man has symptoms of gastro-esophageal reflux, especially in the night. He does not smoke but his wife smoke in the house. Administration of a H2 blocker improved his condition but in addition, he should:
a)Ask his wife to quit smoking.
b)Sleep with no more than one pillow.
c)Swim for 1 hr/day.
d)Rise the head of his bad with a few inches.
e)Walk for 1 hr/day

part reasoning is that he CAN'T control his wifes smoking,he can only ask her not to smoke. He can control the amout of pillows under his head.
Also I agree with IMGPK
