A) Contributing to its development, but not subsequently precipitating attacks
B) Not contributing to its development, but subsequently precipitating attacks
C) Not contributing to its development, nor subsequently precipitating attacks
D) Both contributing to its development and subsequently precipitating attacks
Question 2
A recent working hypothesis by some researchers is that proinflammatory cytokines may contribute to, and even possibly cause, asthma to develop. What is a valid reason for this hypothesis?
A) Asthma itself is a disease fundamentally involving higher rates of inflammation.
B) Asthma affects more poor African Americans with higher rates of inflammation.
C) Asthma is a disease, and all diseases develop from higher rates of inflammation.
D) Asthma patients tested before diagnosis all showed higher rates of inflammation.
