Answer

### Question 17 # Brief Explanations: The passage mentions that as the use of antibiotics has increased, so has the development of antibiotic - resistant strains of certain bacteria, and people are at risk of contracting serious infections that cannot be treated by antibiotics. This indicates that antibiotic - resistant strains pose a serious new health risk. There is no mention of antibiotics decreasing the immune system's ability, new antibiotics for the common cold, or the cost of antibiotics. # Answer: D. Antibiotic - resistant strains of bacteria pose a serious new health risk. ### Question 18 # Brief Explanations: The first - person point of view uses "I" or "we". The quote "In the lives of children, pumpkins turn into coaches, mice and rats turn into men. When we grow up, we realize it is far more common for men to turn into rats. Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister; Gregory Maguire" uses "we", which is indicative of the first - person point of view. The other options do not use first - person pronouns. # Answer: C. In the lives of children, pumpkins turn into coaches, mice and rats turn into men. When we grow up, we realize it is far more common for men to turn into rats.
