Answer to Question 1

The Spanish court, under the rule of King Phillip IV, was eager to emulate the pomp and pageantry of the French court. In his capacity as the king's court painter, Velzquez created his masterpiece Las Meninas. The setting is a room in the royal palace with an assembly of people, the royal couple, their daughter, attendants, dwarfs, and fine objects that represent court life. There is ambiguity in the subject, as we can only guess at the subject he is painting, but that is part of the fascination. The painting is an official portrait and Velzquez conveys a warm, everyday quality. Rembrandt's Night Watch portrays a kind of private elite militia. Such groups played a prominent role, but by Rembrandt's time their function was largely ceremonial. Rembrandt's innovation was to paint individual portraits within the context of a larger activity, a call to arms.

Answer to Question 2

A
The Taj Mahal, like the Friday Mosque, is based on Persian architectural designs, inspiring new forms of mosques.

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.
