What made mustard gas so effective?

History

Answer:

B. It didn't need to be inhaled to be effective

Explanation:

    Ingestion of the gas irritates mucous membranes, causing burning, large blisters and internal burns. If the amount of gas is large, it affects the entire digestive system. Symptoms appear after 24 hours. By mixing with fat, the agent is easily absorbed by the body, and is still able to pass through clothes.

    In contact with the eyes, mustard causes conjunctivitis. Within 24 hours, the eyelids swell and the victim has blindness. The pupil can be very small, permanently. With treatment in less than 12 hours, eye contamination does not kill, but leaves sequelae, such as blindness and other damage that may force eye removal.

    Inhaled mustard gas causes bleeding and blisters in the respiratory system. Victims usually die from pulmonary edema - excess fluid in the lung. Even at high concentrations, the gas is not perceived by the victim for several hours. In the case of lung contamination, this “discretion” is fatal.

    If exposure is only to the skin, the gas is fatal when it affects more than 50% of the victim's body. Death is slow, extremely painful and can take weeks. If the person survives, the treatment is long and debilitating. Even so, the chances of having skin cancer in the future increase exponentially.

Left Panel

I don't know how to eliminate all the choices, but the answer for this question is E.

A is incorrect. Out of 10000 cases making an appeal to the Supreme court, only 80 are hear.

B: Sometimes a case is heard if only 1 justice wants to hear it because the case is in the realm of his specialty. So B is not true.

C: C is one of those possibilities that is possible that might be true. Actually the cases presented to the court go through a pool of clerks who decide whether or not to pass it on.

D: For the same reason that B is not the answer, I don't think this one is either. The court has in recent history had an odd number of justices. I don't think the chief justice has any more votes than any of the others. The vote rarely is 4 to 4 close, especially recently.

Middle Panel

The answer to this is D to make and pass laws that apply to the state. I'll explain this better in the comments when I'm at home.

Right Panel

I think the closest answer is A. I'll put this one in the comments as well.
