Question

Riya went to the hospital to meet her sister who was undergoing some treatment. The hospital was crowded with patients suffering from various types of allergies, pneumonia and Ascariasis. Name the disease that Riya is most likely to get infected with. Give one reason for your answer.

Answer 1

1. Riya will most certainly contract pneumonia.
2. Typically, pneumonia-causing bacteria are inhaled.
3. People often have small amounts of germs in their nose and throat that can be passed on through coughs and sneezes and these launch tiny droplets of fluid containing germs into the air, which someone else can breathe in.
