PART B: Which detail from the text best supports the answer to Part A?
A. "Every year, from 5 to 20 percent of the people in the United States will become
infected with influenza virus. An average of 200,000 of these people will require
hospitalization and up to 50,000 will die." (Paragraph 1)
"When T cells specifically recognize influenza virus proteins, they then begin to
proliferate in the lymph nodes around the lungs and throat. This causes swelling
and pain in these lymph nodes." (Paragraph 6)
"This results in a prolonged infection and greater lung damage. This can also set
the stage for complications including secondary bacterial pneumonia, which can
often be deadly." (Paragraph 8)
D. "Functionally, influenza infection also hinders walking and leg strength.
Importantly, in young individuals, these effects are transient and return to
normal once the infection was cleared." (Paragraph 14)
