Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The course of the ALS is consistent, with no remissions. ALS always progresses to respiratory dysfunction and death, generally within 5 years after onset, although the course of the disease may vary. No cure or therapy will lessen the progress of, or reverse, the disorder. The individual with ALS retains intellectual and sensory function throughout the course of the disease.
