A:Local tetanus is a rare form of the disease and it causes persistent contractions of muscles in the same area of the sufferer's body as where the original injury was made. The contractions may persist for many weeks before gradually subsiding. Local tetanus is generally milder; only about 1% of cases are fatal, but it may precede the onset of generalized tetanus. B:Again, given that many lurid historical accounts of tetanus suggest that it was generally an affliction of the entire body, could you conclude from this passage that better hygiene and understanding of germ theory has contributed to it now being much more likely to be a less-serious, more-localized infection in most cases? Answer: mounting
A:Local tetanus is the typical form of the disease, and causes people have persistent contraction of muscles in the same anatomic area as the injury, with any spreading being highly uncommon. The contractions may persist for many weeks before gradually subsiding. Local tetanus is generally milder; only about 1% of cases are fatal, but it may precede the onset of generalized tetanus. B:From this passage we know that localized tetanus has a fatality rate of 1%.  Given how common or uncommon local-tetanus cases are said to be, would you expect that the overall death rate from all forms of tetanus would be very close to, and just a bit higher than 1%, since that is just the way that averages work? Answer: conventions
A:Local tetanus is the most likely form of the disease, and causes people have persistent contraction of muscles in the same anatomic area as the injury. The contractions may persist for many weeks before gradually subsiding. Local tetanus is generally milder; only about 1% of cases are fatal, but it may precede the onset of generalized tetanus. B:A reader with a passing familiarity with medicine might recall that tetanus was known as lockjaw in the middle ages, which suggests that in the majority of cases, tetanus infected the body in general rather than just a small area around a cut or wound.  Does the passage make it sound like this is still the case? Answer: mounting

A:When Alaska became a state in 1959, section 4 of the Alaska Statehood Act provided that any existing Alaska Native land claims would be unaffected by statehood and held in status quo. Yet while section 4 of the act preserved Native land claims until later settlement, section 6 allowed for the state government to claim lands deemed vacant. Section 6 granted the state of Alaska the right to select lands then in the hands of the federal government, with the exception of Native territory. As a result, nearly from the public domain would eventually be transferred to the state. The state government also attempted to acquire lands under section 6 of the Statehood Act that were subject to Native claims under section 4, and that were currently occupied and used by Alaska Natives. The federal Bureau of Land Management began to process the Alaska government's selections without taking into account the Native claims and without informing the affected Native groups. B:Did Section 6 allow Alaska to choose any federal lands that it wanted? Answer: mounting
