The disease that concerned Dr. Dowell was avian influenza, or bird flu. This virus usually strikes poultry, like chickens, ducks, and turkeys. It's rare for bird flu to make people sick. In fact, by 2003, only about 40 people had died from bird flu in the whole world. And all of them had gotten it from handling sick birds or breathing in their secretions, like saliva.

In some places in Thailand, chickens run freely through homes. Some are even kept as pets. In those conditions, there's always a danger of a bird flu outbreak.

What evidence will Dr. Dowell likely examine first to see if the girl died from bird flu?

how often the girl washed her hands
whether the girl lived with her mother
whether the girl lived near birds
how far the girl’s house was from a water source

The answer is C. Whether the girl lived near birds.

another worldwide flu like the Spanish flu is possible.

Explanation:

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.

(sorry couldn’t show the fonts in this comment field)

too much?

where are the multiple choice answers?
