Answer to Question 1

B
Anthrax in an aerosolized form is most potent 1 day after the explosion. After that time, the or-ganism dies very quickly and anthrax is not communicable from person to person.

Answer to Question 2

A
Chelating agents bind with radioactive material, allowing it to be excreted without absorption.
