Answer to Question 1

Answer: a

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The architects established a sense of connection and discontinuity between the two parts, that is, the two towers that constitute the building. One tower looks like it is leaning, while the other tower looks like it is holding up the first tower. The towers appear to be dancing together. They are not meant to blend into a harmonious whole but rather emphasize change and variety.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
