How might electrolysis be used to raise the hull of a sunken ship?
 
  A) An electric current passed through the hull of the ship would produce electrolysis and the gases trapped in the compartments of the vessel would push it upwards.
  B) The electrolysis of the water beneath the hull of the ship would boil the water and create upward pressure, thus buoying the ship upward.
  C) The gaseous products of the electrolysis of water could be collected with large bags attached to the hull of the ship. As the bags inflate with the gas they are buoyed upward pulling the ship also upward.
  D) Electrolysis could only be used to raise the hull of a ship if the ship were made of iron. If so, the electrolysis of the iron metal might produce enough gas to lift the ship.

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.
