Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: Systems that use sequential question-asking systems to aid decision makers such as doctors who are diagnosing illnesses are called expert systems. Text reading software is used simply to decipher text. Support software is generic software for any application. Group systems are not used for decision making.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: Greed and short-sightedness may affect the decisions of some, but clearly not all, managers. Most managers are rational in that they are reasonable, logical, and have the best interests of their organization in mind. What limits the decisions of managers most of the time is not having too much information but having too little, and not having the time or resources to be able to analyze all of the information that is relevant to all of the alternatives in a given situation.

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.
