Question

which was most likely an effect on society that resulted from improvements in blood handling during world war i and world war ii?
○ more soldiers died as a result of incorrect blood typing.
○ more soldiers who had lost a limb returned home.
○ more donations were needed as a result of poor storage techniques.
○ more organizations spoke out against the war.

Explanation:

• Analyze Option 1: Improvements in blood handling should reduce deaths from incorrect typing, so this is incorrect.
• Analyze Option 2: Better blood handling (e.g., storage, transfusion) improved surgical outcomes for amputees, increasing survival and return home.
• Analyze Option 3: Improved handling would mean better storage, reducing need for more donations, so this is wrong.
• Analyze Option 4: Blood handling improvements don’t relate to anti - war organizations, so this is irrelevant.

Answer:

B. More soldiers who had lost a limb returned home.
