Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Major causes of vocal fold paralysis are:

 Nerve damage that occurs during thyroid surgery
 Nerve damage as a result of blunt trauma, often from an automobile accident
 Cerebral vascular accident (CVA) or other conditions that cause a loss of blood supply to the brain and damage to the upper or lower motor neurons, resulting in paralysis
 Neurodegenerative diseases that can weaken or paralyze the vocal folds
 Aneurysm of the aortic arch caused by a weakness in the aortic wall

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.
