You have to decide which of the given inferences, if any, follow from the given statement. Statement: People with flu generate infectious aerosols (tiny droplets that stay suspended in the air for a long time) even when they are not coughing, and especially during the first days of illness. Inferences: I: Infected people can spread the disease just by breathing. II: Infected persons should stay at home rather than going to workplaces even when they're not coughing. Correct Answer <p>Both inference I and II follow</p>

Answer: Option 3. Both inferences I and II follow.

 

When a sick person is not coughing or sneezing, the only way they can get something out of their body is by breathing. The aerosols will get released into the air and hence the disease may spread. Also, if that is true, then a sick person should stay at home only. If they choose to stay at their workplace then their co-workers are at the risk of getting affected too. So both the inferences follow.
