Excerpt from “Promoting Childhood Immunizations”
1Immunization was perhaps the single most beneficial public health measure of the 20th century. 2Vaccine manufacturers work in tandem with government, academic, and nongovernmental agencies to develop safe and effective vaccines that decreases health costs and improve compliance. 3Despite overwhelming evidence of vaccine safety, suspicion and misconception continue in small groups of hesitant or resistant parents, often leading to outbreaks of vaccine-preventable infections. 4On the front lines of vaccination, nurse practitioners can improve vaccination rates by developing a trusting relationship with parents and being armed with information based on sound clinical evidence. 5The study that follows was supported by the Intramural Research Program of the National Institutes of Health, Clinical Center, Department of Radiology, and National Cancer Institute.

Kwan gazed out at her brother and heard his shrieks of delight as he tried to direct their marvelous flying creation. she watched it wheel, spin, and dive—a wild, colorful bird putting on an aerial display. its gold and red crepe-paper wings fluttered in the air, mimicking the flight of a predatory bird surveying the landscape for prey. it swooped and dived, perhaps discovering a possible meal, and then went airborne again to avoid the rocky terrain below. min was the falconer, guiding his bird on its path through the sky, not yet ready to call it back to the ground. but kwan grew concerned when she looked out at the dark, threatening clouds beginning to roll in off the water. when she saw the streaks of lightning within the cloud formation, she pointed to the distant storm and called out to her little brother to bring in the kite. min nodded and rolled in the kite string, bringing his bird home. “let’s go,” kwan told her brother and put her arm around him to fold him safely under her wing as they both held onto the kite. “it’s time to go home.” how does the extended metaphor in paragraph 3 affect the mood of this passage? a-it creates a feeling of silliness that captures the absurd humor of the situation. b- it creates a sense of tranquility to match the feelings of min at this point. c-it creates a feeling of fear over what may happen if the kite crashes. d-it creates a sense of awe and wonder at min's mastery of the kite.
