Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the question.
Symptoms of monkeypox (mpox) can include a rash, fever, chills, muscle aches, backache, swollen lymph nodes, sore throat and exhaustion. Some people with mpox experience proctitis, which may
present with anal or rectal pain, bloody stools, diarrhoea, or urethritis.
The rash mainly affects the genital or perianal areas, face including inside the mouth, and extremities such as hands and arms or feet and leg, however other parts of the body can be affected. The rash may
change and go through different stages and involve skin lesions such as vesicles, pustules, pimples, or ulcers which become scabs that fall off.
Non-rash symptoms may precede or accompany the rash. People with mpox are considered infectious from the first onset of symptoms until all skin lesions crust, scab and fall off with a layer of new skin
forming underneath.
Symptoms may resemble sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as herpes or syphilis and co-infections may occur. Therefore, investigating for other potential causes of symptoms is important.
Mpox typically results in mild illness and most symptoms resolve within a few weeks. However, some people may develop severe illness and require hospitalisation. Children, pregnant women, and
immunocompromised individuals are considered at higher risk of developing severe disease.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the question.
The new technology uses 12 dedicated tracking cameras mounted underneath the roof of the stadium to track the ball and up to 29 data points of each individual player, 50 times per second, calculating
their exact position on the pitch. The 29 collected data points include all limbs and extremities that are relevant for making offside calls.
Al Rihla, adidas’ official match ball for Qatar 2022™, will provide a further vital element for the detection of tight offside incidents as an inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor will be placed inside the
ball. This sensor, positioned in the centre of the ball, sends ball data to the video operation room 500 times per second, allowing a very precise detection of the kick point.
By combining the limb- and ball-tracking data and applying artificial intelligence, the new technology provides an automated offside alert to the video match officials inside the video operation room
whenever the ball is received by an attacker who was in an offside position at the moment the ball was played by a team-mate. Before informing the on-field referee, the video match officials validate the
proposed decision by manually checking the automatically selected kick point and the automatically created offside line, which is based on the calculated positions of the players’ limbs. This process
happens within a few seconds and means that offside decisions can be made faster and more accurately.
After the decision has been confirmed by the referee on the pitch, the exact same positional data points that were used to make the decision are then generated into a 3D animation that perfectly details the
position of the players’ limbs at the moment the ball was played. This 3D animation, which will always show the best possible perspectives for an offside situation, will then be shown on the giant screens
in the stadium and will also be made available to FIFA’s broadcast partners to inform all spectators in the clearest possible way.
