Question

More people died of hyperthermia in Chicago in 1995 than in all of the hurricanes that struck the United States over a twenty-year period from 1975 to 1995.

a) True
b) False

Answer 1

The statement is False. Comparing the number of deaths from hyperthermia in Chicago in 1995 with the number of deaths from hurricanes in the United States over a twenty-year period from 1975 to 1995 is unlikely to result in more deaths from hyperthermia in Chicago.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is b) False. This statement compares the number of deaths from hyperthermia in Chicago in 1995 with the number of deaths from hurricanes in the United States over a twenty-year period from 1975 to 1995. While hyperthermia is a serious condition caused by extreme heat, it is unlikely that more people died from hyperthermia in Chicago in 1995 than in all hurricanes over the specified period. Hurricanes can cause significant damage and loss of life, especially in coastal areas.
