Question

question 1 (multiple choice worth 3 points) soon after melissa walks barefoot along the wet banks of a local river, a red, itchy rash appears on the soles of her feet. what is the type of this reaction? it is an acute effect of a toxin in the river. it is a chronic effect of a toxin in the river. it is a combined effect of toxins. it is a canceling effect of toxins.

Explanation:

An acute effect occurs rapidly after exposure. Melissa developed a rash soon after walking barefoot, indicating a quick - onset reaction to a possible toxin in the river. Chronic effects develop over a long time, combined effects involve multiple factors working together, and canceling effects would imply one factor counteracting another. Since this is a quick - appearing reaction, it's an acute effect.

Answer:

It is an acute effect of a toxin in the river.
