Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1. Choose either the student council classmates or driving-school classmates as being the most influential agent of Jared's political socialization.
2. Explain why the selected agent is more influential.
3. Since the student council is more directly related to politics and is embedded in the learning environment of the school, it would appear to be the most influential agent.

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1. Describe prospective issue voting as voting based on what a candidate pledges to do in the future about an issue if elected.
2. Describe retrospective issue voting as holding incumbents, usually the president's party, responsible for their records on issues, such as the economy or foreign policy.
3. Observe that Romney tried to appeal to prospective issue voters by trying to sell his vision of America and his policies, while he also appealed to retrospective voters, saying Obama was a failure. Obama did the same, telling prospective voters he just needed another four years to turn it around; with retrospective voters he tried to both lay the blame on the GOP and stated Romney would gut social services.

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.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
