Explanation:

Define communicable diseases and transmission

Communicable diseases are illnesses caused by Pathogens (like bacteria, viruses, or parasites) that can spread from one organism to another. Transmission occurs through direct contact, respiratory droplets, vectors (like mosquitoes), or contaminated vehicles (like food and water).

Analyze Question 1 options

We need to identify which option is NOT a way communicable diseases spread:

• Contaminated food: Transmits foodborne pathogens.
• Mosquito bite: Acts as a vector transmitting pathogens.
• Sneezing or coughing: Spreads respiratory droplets containing pathogens.
• Pollution: Environmental factor, not a direct transmission route for pathogens between people.

Analyze Question 2 options

We need to identify the term for diseases spreading quickly from person to person:

• Chronic: Long-lasting conditions, not necessarily infectious.
• Autoimmune: Immune system attacking body's own cells; non-infectious.
• Hereditary: Genetically passed from parents to offspring; non-infectious.
• Communicable: Infectious diseases that spread between individuals.

Answer:

Question 1

• contaminated food
• mosquito bite
• sneezing or coughing
• pollution (Correct answer)

Question 2

• chronic
• autoimmune
• hereditary
• communicable (Correct answer)
