Question

1. people who are ______ appear to have the worst symptoms from this type of foodborne illness.

Explanation:

To solve this fill - in - the - blank question, we need to consider the context of foodborne illness and the groups of people who are more likely to have severe symptoms. In the context of foodborne illness, vulnerable groups such as "immunocompromised", "elderly", "young children" or "pregnant" are likely candidates. A very common and appropriate word here is "pregnant" (or other similar terms like "elderly", "immunocompromised", etc. depending on the specific context of the material this question is from). If we assume a common context where pregnant people are more susceptible to severe symptoms from foodborne illness, the answer would be "pregnant" (or another appropriate term as per the intended context).

Answer:

pregnant (or other appropriate terms like elderly, immunocompromised etc. depending on the context)
