Chemotherapy or “chemo” is the use of a drug to treat cancer. Surgery and radiation therapy remove, kill, or damage cancer cells

in a certain area, but chemo can work throughout the whole body. This means chemo can kill cancer cells that have spread to parts of the body far away from the original tumor. If cure is not possible, chemo may be used to control the disease. Chemo is used to shrink tumors or stop the cancer from growing and spreading. Chemo can also be used to help shrink a tumor that’s causing pain or pressure.

Answer:

Decreases pain

Shrinks tumors

Kills cancer cells

Reduces pressure

Stops cancer from spreading

Works throughout the whole body

Explanation:

Based on the given passage, we can conclude what the benefits of chemotherapy are. We can use the following lines to get to the correct answer:

.<em>.. but chemo can work throughout the whole body. This means chemo can kill cancer cells that have spread to parts of the body far away from the original tumor. - </em>Chemotherapy works throughout the whole body and kills cancer cells.

<em>Chemo is used to shrink tumors or stop the cancer from growing and spreading</em>. - Chemotherapy can shrink tumors and stop the cancer from spreading.

<em>Chemo can also be used to help shrink a tumor that’s causing pain or pressure. </em>- Chemotherapy shrinks tumors, decreases pain, and reduces pressure.

Chemotherapy is not a substitute for a treatment that involves the use of drugs. Also, it doesn't remove tumors - surgery does. This is why the fifth and sixth options are the only incorrect ones, while the rest are correct.

Arada [10]
When a child is little, they must have a ton of interaction with other people. Children repeat things they hear when they're little, and with the caregiver not communicating with the child, they don't have a chance to engage the brain through words. With the caretaker not using the child's name, the babe might not respond when people call their name, which is not good. With no walking or crawling, the baby will have a hard time learning as it isn't practicing when it counts the most.
