Untreated acute allergic reaction is a life-threatening situation because its symptoms can progress quickly. The most dangerous is the Anaphylaxis. It can be triggered by drugs, food, or injections, which a person may experience itching, swelling, difficulty in breathing, panic, and collapse. The worse is cardiac arrest when not treated immediately. Moreover, a prolonged illness may also develop as its late phase such as severe asthma.
Soaps are alkali , which is why they are bitter and slippery . Alkalis have a pH (potential hydrogen ) of 7-12 . Lemon juice is acidic which would neutralize the alkalinity of the soap . Acids have pH of 1-6 . It would cause the pH of the soap to drop .
The answer is b since it is the most red and if you look at a compass, it is southwest

The complete question is :
As an epidemiologist you are going to investigate the effect of a drug suspected of causing malformations in newborn infants when the drug in question is taken by pregnant women during the course of their pregnancies. As your sample you will use the next 200 single births occurring in a given hospital. For each birth a medication history will be taken from the new mother and from her doctor; in addition, you will review medical records to verify use of the drug. [N.B.: These mothers are considered to have been followed prospectively during the entire course of their pregnancies, because a complete and accurate record of drug use was maintained during pregnancy.] The resultant data are: Forty mothers have taken the suspected drug during their pregnancies. Of these mothers, 35 have delivered malformed infants. In addition, 10 other infants are born with malfunctions. What is the relative risk between exposure to the drug and malformations?
Answer:
14
Explanation:
- The relative risk is a measure that is used to calculate or compare the likelihood or the chance that an event would occur while comparing the two groups.
- To calculate the relative risk, the probability of an event occurring in one group is compared with the probability of the event occurring in another group and this is done by dividing the probability of one group by another.
- The value of relative risk is always either zero or greater than zero but it cannot be negative.
- The value 1 indicates neutrality.
- The probability of an event = no. of favorable outcomes/ total no. of outcomes
- For the given question, 35 mothers out of 40 delivered infants that were malformed, so the probability of delivering malformed infants is 35/40.
- Out of the 200 births, 40 have occurred so total births left is 200 - 40 = 160
- Therefore, the probability of the second event is 10/160.
- Therefore relative risk is = (35/40)/(10/160) = (0.875/0.062) = 14
