Fill in each blank in the passage below with ONE word you think appropriate. It has often been said that a little knowledge can be dangerous and so it would seem in relation to SARS. We have been told that there is a new disease which can be (1) spread by contact with an affected person and which is responsible for 200 plus deaths worldwide.
This news has sent a wave of panic through the world which to me seems (2) out of proportion. After all more people than that die on the roads every day, but no one suggests we (3) return to horse-drawn transport.
Now that the WHO is involved, we should assume that doctors all over the world are trying every means to find a (4) cure and prevention. As SARS is a new form of virus, I understand that it will probably mutate and it does, so it is (5) likely to become weaker. Also, so far as we know, anyone (6) unfortunate enough to catch the disease has a very much higher chance of recovery than not. So what is all the panic (7) about?
When people don’t really know, they (8) tend to assume the worst. People worry and panic (9) because they know that the hospitals are not likely to be able to cope with a mass influx of highly infectious patients, yet they don’t know (10) how to save themselves or what to do should they become infected. More information is essential.
