Answer to Question 1

Answer: (Any four of the following)
 Have traits such as fair skin; blonde, red, or light brown hair; blue, green, or gray eyes
 Always burn before tanning; don't tan easily
 Spend a lot of time outdoors
 Burn easily and peel readily
 Have been previously treated or have a family history of skin cancer
 Have experienced severe sunburns as a child
 Use no sunscreen or low-SPF sunscreen
A suspicious mole may have sides that look different (asymmetry) and an irregular border (scalloped edges); the color may vary within the mole (color); and the diameter is larger than a pea. The suspicious mole can have one or more of these characteristics.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A stroke occurs when the blood supply is cut off by plaque formation or a blood clot within a cerebral artery (an artery serving the brain). It can also occur when an artery in the brain ruptures, often because of an aneurysm. Either event deprives the brain of oxygen and nutrients, resulting in the death of brain cells and subsequent speech impairments, memory loss, and loss of motor control.
