Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The body did not have to work to develop the immunity; therefore, it is passive, and the patient was artificially exposed. It is not innate because it was provided. It was not naturally acquired because it was given in the vaccine.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Humoral immunity is a defense system that involves antibodies and white blood cells that are produced to fight antigens. Cellular immunity involves defense by white blood cells against any microorganisms that the body does not recognize as its own. The innate (nonspecific) immune system provides immediate defense against foreign antigens. Passive immunity occurs when a person receives an antibody produced in another body.
