In the last paragraph of this reading, geneticist Robert Plomin is quoted as saying, The wave of acceptance
  of genetic influence on behavior is growing into a tidal wave that threatens to engulf the second message of this
  research. These same data provide the best available evidence for the importance of environmental influences.
  Which of the following best restates Plomin's meaning?
 
  a. In addition to focusing on the idea that the genes we are born with influence our personalities, psychologists
  should also keep in mind that our surroundings and experiences can shape our personalities as well.
  b. The field of genetics is expanding with the same speed and destructive force as a tidal wave on the natural
  environment.
  c. The primary message of the naturenurture debate is that it is pointless to argue about what influences personality
  development.
  d. Those who believe that our genes influence our personalities are mistaken; the environment alone is the deciding
  factor in explaining why we are the way we are.

Readers expect a balance of text and visuals on a Web page.

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.
