Critique the following statement made by a student looking at a TEM image of dolomite.
 
  The TEM image shows regular patterns of small dots, large dots, and tiny dots. The formula for dolomite is CaMgCO32. I think the large dots must be the carbonate groups.
 
  A) The student is correct.
  B) The student is probably correct because four atoms will make a larger mark than one atom.
  C) The student is probably incorrect because the single metal atoms have a denser arrangement of electrons than the carbonate group.
  D) The student is incorrect because the image must not be dolomite. Since there are four types of atoms, the TEM for dolomite should have four sizes of dots.

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.
