Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
A person with type A blood also has circulating antibodies to the B carbohydrate antigen. If this person receives blood from a type AB or B individual, a severe transfusion reaction occurs, and the transfused erythrocytes are destroyed by agglutination or complement-mediated lysis. Type A can receive type A blood. Type B and type AB can receive type O.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Attenuated vaccines are alive, but less infectious. Attenuated vaccines are not mutated or highly infectious. Inactive infers the virus is killed.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
