  Under which of the following conditions is a person most likely to fall sick? (a) When she is recovering from malaria. (b) When she has recovered from malaria and is taking care of someone suffering from chicken-pox. (c) When she is on a four-day fast after recovering from malaria and is taking care of someone suffering from chicken pox. Why?     

Answer:

                  (c) A person is most likely to fall sick when she is on a four-day fast after recovering from malaria and is taking care of someone suffering from malaria. This is because immediately after suffering from malaria, the body is still weak, as during malaria a person loses appetite. Moreover, the various organ systems have also not properly recovered and the immune system is also comparatively weak. So, she is very likely to get infected with chicken pox herself which can lead to serious health problems.
