Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, C, D
The elderly will be at the greatest risk for exposure to catastrophic weather events such as hurricanes and extreme heat. Climate change will worsen smog and cause plants to produce more pollen pollution, increasing respiratory health threats, particularly for people with allergies and asthma. Increased flooding will result in possible food and water shortages and may lead to mass migration. Persons affected by disasters and economic problems due to ecosystem and climate changes will be vulnerable to mental health stresses. The health care needs of the farmer with a low crop yield and the female with knee replacement should not require specific plans based on climate change.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B, C, E
The Millennium Development Goals (MDG) Report outlines eight broad goals and specific targets for each goal that are to be achieved by the year 2015. These include halt and reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS; reduce the maternal mortality ratio by three-quarters; develop and implement strategies for decent and productive work for youth; and halve the population without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation. Gender disparity in primary and secondary education should be eliminated, not continued.
