1. The artist is making a reference to Coronavirus disease 2019 in this comic, does the relevancy of the comic affect how you perceive it?

Yes, it most certainly does!

Explanation: I think that this is really funny because just a few years ago, we where freaking out over Bird Flu. Now we are freaking out over the coronavirus and have completely forgotten about the Bird Flu even though it still exists. So, right now, we could all get bird flu, but we are not concerned about that because now we are concerned about the coronavirus.

Hope this helps!   :)

i would say the answer is b. zigzag lines of the leaves. i believe this is the answer because zigzag lines go in different direction while the other options like: the vertical lines of the trees, the dotted lines on the road, and the curved lines of the park benches go in one direction.
