Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Measurement is the assigning of either numbers (as in the case of scores from traditional paper-and-pencil tests) or ratings (such as rating performances as adequate,  excellent, or exceeds standard) to attributes of people according to rules in order to create a ranking. Measurement provides information about a person's level of knowledge about a subject domain and/or proficiency about a skill. A score of 75 percent, for example, indicates that the individual has learned about 75 percent of the information from a prescribed domain.
Evaluation is the process of making judgments about the value or worth of a set of measures by using a rule-governed system. For example, you may decide that students who correctly answered at least 87 percent of the test questions deserve a grade of A, while another teacher who uses a different rule system may award that score a grade of B.
Evaluation, therefore, includes measurement. While measurement is conceptually distinct from evaluation, it is a necessary prerequisite to evaluation.

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.
