A They prevent pandemics B They help control the population C They help the world grow quickly D They kill too many people 68 Based on the information in the passage the term pandemics can best be explained as A diseases with no cure C diseases that spread quickly and kill large numbers of people B a deadly kind of flu D new diseases like SARS or the Marburg virus 69 According to the passage, what causes pandemics? A Changes in a disease that the body cannot fight B Careless doctors who not watch the spread of diseases C Population growth that the world cannot support D The failure to make new medicines 70 According to the passage, all of the following are true of the 1918 flu pandemic EXCEPT that A it involved a new kind of flu virus B it killed over 25 million people C it was the last pandemic in history D it took a little over a week to kill its victims 71 The word it in the passage refers to A disease B flu virus C pandemics D bodies 72 Which of the following is mentioned as a common feature of all pandemic diseases?
