Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
Feedback
Correct Carpets retain dust. To reduce exposure to dust, carpeting should be
replaced with wood, tile, slate, or vinyl. These floors can be cleaned easily.
For anyone with pollen allergies, it is best to keep the windows closed and
to run the air conditioner. Covering mattresses and pillows with dust-proof
covers will reduce exposure to dust.
Incorrect A humidity level above 60 promotes dust mites. It is recommended that
household humidity be kept between 40 and 50 to reduce dust mites
inside the house. Keeping pets outside will help to decrease exposure to
dander, but will not affect exposure to pollen and dust.
