Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Stars with a total mass of 8 solar masses or more may form iron cores. The formation of an iron core ends the normal life of a star because iron cannot be fused into heavier elements and produce energy, as previous fusion reactions have done. In order to fuse iron, energy must be provided. The star, at this point in its evolution, has finally run out of energy sources in its core. This disrupts the hydrostatic equilibrium of the star; the inward pressure of gravity takes over and the star collapses and then explodes as a Type II supernova.

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 glasses and other visual aids may at first help a person with cataracts, surgery may become inevitable. Cataract surgery is very successful in restoring vision, and it is the most frequently performed surgery in the United States.
