Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Melodrama was a nineteenth century popular form marked by simplicity, sensationalism, and sentimentality. Its characters are not complex or conflicted, but simply good or bad. The disasters that visit good people result from outside forces beyond their controlusually the evil machinations of a villain; suffering does not stem from any flaws within the good characters themselves. The villains are motivated by greed, anger, or other vices and do not elicit sympathy from the audience. In melodrama's morally simplistic world, good always wins over evil. Often the productions used masterful special effects, and the form was easily accessible and played to working-class audiences.

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.
