The correct Answer is:
To identify the diseases P, Q, R, S, and T based on their characteristics, we will analyze each description step by step. ### Step 1: Identify Disease P - **Characteristic**: Communicable disease, spreads through sexual contact. - **Possible Diseases**: - AIDS - Syphilis - Gonorrhea - Hepatitis B - **Conclusion**: Disease P can be identified as **AIDS** (or any other similar disease that spreads through sexual contact). ### Step 2: Identify Disease Q - **Characteristic**: Communicable disease, spreads through physical contact and use of infected articles. - **Possible Diseases**: - Measles - Smallpox - Chickenpox - Influenza - **Conclusion**: Disease Q can be identified as **Measles** (or any other disease that spreads through physical contact). ### Step 3: Identify Disease R - **Characteristic**: Communicable disease, transmitted through vectors. - **Possible Diseases**: - Malaria (transmitted by mosquitoes) - Dengue (transmitted by mosquitoes) - Zika virus (transmitted by mosquitoes) - Yellow fever (transmitted by mosquitoes) - **Conclusion**: Disease R can be identified as **Malaria** (or any other vector-borne disease). ### Step 4: Identify Disease S - **Characteristic**: Non-communicable disease, uncontrolled proliferation of cells. - **Possible Diseases**: - Cancer - Tumors - Benign growths - **Conclusion**: Disease S can be identified as **Cancer**. ### Step 5: Identify Disease T - **Characteristic**: Non-communicable disease, hypersensitivity to certain antigens such as dust, pollen, etc. - **Possible Diseases**: - Allergies - Asthma - Hay fever - **Conclusion**: Disease T can be identified as **Hay fever** (or any other allergy-related condition). ### Final Summary of Diseases Identified - **P**: AIDS (or similar) - **Q**: Measles (or similar) - **R**: Malaria (or similar) - **S**: Cancer - **T**: Hay fever (or similar)
