AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify the correct entities for P, Q, R, S, and T based on the information provided about the mosquitoes and the diseases they spread. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Mosquito P and Disease Q**: - The passage states that mosquito P is a carrier of a virus that spreads disease Q. - The most common mosquito known to spread a viral disease is the Aedes mosquito, which is known for spreading dengue fever. - Therefore, we can conclude: - **P = Aedes mosquito** - **Q = Dengue fever** 2. **Identify Mosquito R and Protozoan S**: - The passage mentions another mosquito R that carries a protozoan S, which spreads disease T. - The female Anopheles mosquito is well-known for being a carrier of the protozoan Plasmodium, which causes malaria. - Therefore, we can conclude: - **R = Anopheles mosquito** - **S = Plasmodium** - **T = Malaria** 3. **Summarize the Findings**: - Now we can summarize the findings: - **P = Aedes mosquito** - **Q = Dengue fever** - **R = Anopheles mosquito** - **S = Plasmodium** - **T = Malaria** ### Final Answer: - **P = Aedes mosquito** - **Q = Dengue fever** - **R = Anopheles mosquito** - **S = Plasmodium** - **T = Malaria**
