Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: The tendency that children are disproportionately among the ranks of those who are poor.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: The poverty line only takes into account income, and not benefits such as medical care or food
vouchers. It is too sparse, because it is based on a minimum amount needed for survival, not a balanced
way of life. The rationale used to set the dollar amount also assumed one could buy ingredients in bulk
quantities, people knew how to cook balanced meals from basic supplies, and the adults had the time to
do all the food preparation from scratch. It does not take regional differences into account.

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.
