The answer is the last one: they include Chagas, malaria, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.

Explanation for each option:

  1. They include yellow fever, dengue, and tick-borne encephalitis: This is true. Yellow fever, dengue, and tick-borne encephalitis are all viral diseases transmitted to humans by arthropods (mosquitoes and ticks, respectively).

  2. They are referred to as arboviruses, short for "arthropod-borne" viruses: This is true. Arboviruses are indeed viruses that are transmitted by arthropods, such as mosquitoes and ticks.

  3. They include Zika, Chikungunya, and West Nile: This is true. Zika, Chikungunya, and West Nile are all viral diseases transmitted by mosquitoes, which are arthropods.

  4. They include Chagas, malaria, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever: This is false. Chagas disease is caused by a protozoan parasite transmitted by triatomine bugs, malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever is a bacterial infection transmitted by ticks. None of these are viral diseases, so this statement is incorrect in the context of viral diseases transmitted by arthropods.

A firm will break even (no profit and no loss) as long as revenue just equals cost. The value of x (the number of items produced and sold) where C(x)=R(x) is called the break-even point. Assume that the below table can be expressed as a linear function. Find (a) the cost function, (b) the revenue function, and (c) the profit function. (d) Find the break-even point and decide whether the product should be produced, given the restrictions on sales. Fixed cost Variable cost Price of item 150 20 25 According to the restriction, no more than 26 units can be sold. (a) The cost function is C(x)= (Simplify your answer.)

What would be the best way to paraphrase the underlined passage from section 5 of Franklin's Daylight Saving? People who have never read the almanac have never seen the sunrise. People who don't understand astronomy couldn't understand what time the sun would rise. People who sleep until noon would be surprised to know that the sun does rise and shine so early.
