ion for the Study of Viruses. Dr. Klein, what do you think of the recent report from the Center for Disease Control on the likelihood of a flu epidemic? Dr. Klein: With so many new flu viruses popping up each year, and with the prevalence of international travel, I have to agree that an international flu epidemic is a real possibility. For which fictionalized story would this passage be most appropriate as source material? a story about a spunky young woman who decides to become a doctor a story about a doctor who tracks and treats the outbreak of a virus a story about a reporter who decides to become a doctor after an interview a story about a young man who catches a virus and visits his doctor
A story about a doctor who tracks and treats the outbreak of a virus.
Explanation:
This is the most likely answer to the question. In this passage, we see that the doctor and the reporter are talking about the likelihood of an epidemic. The doctor states that the prevalence of international travel makes pandemics more likely. Therefore, the story that we decide to write has to be related in some way to epidemics and the impact that international travel has on them. Option B is the one that would best address these concerns.
