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.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
