Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Plowing and cultivation disturb soil horizons. Agricultural activities may also reshape the land surface, which increases water runoff and decreases infiltration into the soil. Bare areas, rows of sown crops, and compacted land surfaces leave significant parts of the field exposed to water runoff and soil erosion. The loss of vegetation, especially during drought, promotes soil erosion by wind. Dry conditions and the lack of vegetation decrease soil moisture and enhance the ability of wind to pick up and move soil particles. Terracing steep slopes and planting parallel to contours diminishes water runoff. Planting continuous covers of vegetation and trees serves as a windbreak and helps retain soil moisture. Practicing no-till methods also decreases erosion by inhibiting water runoff and restores nutrients to the soil.

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.
