The recent spread of the polio virus is a public health emergency of international concern as per the World Health Organization. Ten
countries currently report evidence that the polio virus, which can cause paralysis, is circulating among people. WHO Director-General
Margaret Chan recently convened a committee to evaluate international efforts that began 25 years ago to eradicate the disease. The 14-member panel found disturbing evidence that interruptions in vaccination programs have allowed the virus to break through in some parts of the world.
Went with option D but E seems pretty close as well.
A. This raises the possibility that when the virus becomes more active, transmission rates will peak even more. --
There is nothing stated about virus becoming more activeB. The WHO recommended these measures to remain in place until countries show no new transmission of polio for six
months.
-- contradicts the last line in the above mentioned paragraphC. The WHO’s action may also help governments to make polio immunization a priority.
-- WHO did not take a action yetD. If the situation remains unchecked, it could result in the failure to eradicate one of the most serious vaccine preventable
diseases.
-- CORRECTE. The members of the WHO are deeply concerned with findings of the 14-member panel.
-- The last sentence gives us a cause for the spread of polio and following it up with an effect ( which is option D) seems to be the best way.
Please do give some kudos.
