Question

Angela is not feeling well and thinks she's coming down with a cold. Which of the following is the BEST action to take in order to prevent spreading her cold? A. Angela is going to wash her hands frequently and go to school late. B. Angela avoids using any of her friends' personal items at school. C. Angela is going to keep her distance from other people by skipping school and going to the mall. D. Angela is going to stay home from school and is going to keep her distance from her family.

Answer 1

The answer is option D. Cold, or common cold, is a viral infectious disease that is infected through the air mainly via close contact, and touching objects previously grabbed by infected people and avoiding going into the school and keeping a distance from her family is the best option in order to prevent further spread of the disease.

Answer 2

The correct answer to the question is D. The question is which action is the best action to prevent the spread of her cold, so we are not necessarily considering the side effects of missing school. It is the only option that limits her human interaction which spreads the disease.
