Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Since women were banned from performing in the seventeenth century, in the kabuki theatre, men perform onnagata roles, an idealized female character. In Elizabethan England, the belief that it was immodest and immoral for women to display themselves publicly led to young boys playing all the female roles. During the English Restoration, women appeared for the first time on the public stages of England. Beautiful young actresses were often called on to play breeches roles, in which they played young men dressed in short pants, or breeches. These roles allowed male audience members to ogle actresses' alluring ankles, a taboo sight outside the theatre. Today, theatre companies may use cross-dressing to highlight and question society's gender roles.

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.
