Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Answer to Question 2

Answer:
(1) Earth has one source of illuminationthe Sun.
(2) Earth's revolution around the Sun determines the length of the year and so determines the duration of the seasons.
(3) Earth's rotation on its axis determines day length.
(4) The tilt of the Earth on its axis of 23.5 allows for the variation of illumination according to latitude. During the equinox, all areas of Earth receive equal amounts of illumination. During the solstices, the different hemispheres receive a variation in the amount of illumination at mid- and high-latitudes. For the winter solstice, the north pole region is excluded from sunlight and the south pole receives sunlight. The opposite occurs for the summer solstice; the north pole region receives sunlight and the south pole does not.

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.
