Answer to Question 1

Answer: An ideal response will:
1. Indicate that the primaries are designed to determine who will represent the parties in the general election.
2. Discuss how in the primaries, the candidates have to appeal to more extreme voters within their parties.
3. Discuss how once the candidates receive their party nominations, they have to embark on the general election campaign. This often involves appealing to more moderate voters.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: An ideal response will:
1. Discuss how public opinion polls, like tracking polls, are used by the media.
2. Discuss how tracking where the candidates stand in the polls creates horse-race coverage of the election. Journalists use polling data to predict election outcomes.

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.
