Questions: Multiple Choice Question In this excerpt, what is the writing using source information to accomplish? Determining whether one has the common cold or the flu can be a difficult task. Gary Liguori and Sandra Carroll-Cobb, scholars in health and human performance, clarify some key differences between the two illnesses: "Colds and influenza (the flu) are both caused by viruses that attack the respiratory symptoms, but there are differences. Influenza is the more serious disease, although colds are more common and probably responsible for more lost days at school and on the job than any other infectious disease.
