Question

32 if covid - 19 infections surge, what happens?
a steady number of people get sick—but improve quickly.
many more people get sick in a short amount of time.
most people are able to prevent others from getting sick.
35 how might you feel if your friends behavior is erratic?
impressed that they set such a good example for others.
relieved that you can always count on them to help you.
worried that they are not acting like themselves.

Explanation:

• For question 32: A surge in COVID - 19 infections means a rapid increase in the number of cases. "Many more people get sick in a short amount of time" aligns with the concept of a surge. A steady number (Option A) does not represent a surge, and Option C is contrary to what happens during a surge as more people get sick rather than preventing others from getting sick easily.
• For question 35: "Erratic" behavior means behavior that is unpredictable and inconsistent. If a friend's behavior is erratic, one would be worried (Option C) as it is not a good, reliable (as in Option B) or exemplary (as in Option A) behavior.

Answer:

1. B. Many more people get sick in a short amount of time.
2. C. Worried that they are not acting like themselves.
