Answer to Question 1

Changes in interest rates affect the value of a country's currency vis--vis other currencies. When the interest rate in an economy increases, investors want to invest in the economy. This increases the demand for the domestic currency causing it to appreciate against other currencies in the foreign exchange market. On the other hand, when interest rate decreases in an economy, the country's currency depreciates.

Answer to Question 2

C

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.
