Answer 2

No actually B is correct "His wife, who was nonalcoholic, established Al-non, patterned on the AA model, for the family members of alcoholics."

Answer 3

I suggest you should do some research before you tell kids what is wrong and right. I've seen many mistakes by tutors here. -Thank you and Good-bye :)

Answer 4

I checked several sources. This quote is from the above site.

"1951 - Lois W., wife of Bill W., co-founder of AA, and Anne B. founded Al-Anon. "

See these other sites.
