Answer to Question 1

b

Answer to Question 2

Attributes are features or aspects of advertised brands. Consequences are what consumers hope to receive (benefits) or avoid (detriments) when consuming brands. Attributes reside in brands, whereas consequences are experienced by consumers as a result of brand acquisition and usage. Values represent those enduring beliefs people hold regarding what is important in life. They pertain to end states that people desire in their lives; they transcend specific situations, and they guide selection or evaluation of behavior. In general, values determine the relative desirability of consequences and serve to organize the meanings for products and brands in consumers' cognitive structures. Brand attributes and their consequences are not sought per se, but rather are desired as means to achieving valued end states. From the consumer's perspective, the ends (values) drive the means (attributes and consequences).

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.
