Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Impact or summative evaluation is concerned with the immediate impact of a program on a target group. Asking how behavior will change based on what was learned in the class demonstrates the impact the class had on the participant. Process or formative evaluation answers the question: Are we doing what we said we would do? Some authors make a distinction between formative and process evaluation by using process to denote evaluation conducted during the program, whereas formative may be applied at formative or preprogram stages. Long-term outcome evaluation is where it is discovered whether the changes had a lasting and real effect. All the other questions answer the process by which the class is taught or when it is held and do not show the impact the class had on the participant.

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.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
