Critical Thinking Question 1. In early 2012, coaches instructed a Pittsburgh professional football player, with the sickle cell trait,
to sit out a game in the high-altitude city, of Denver, Colorado. Doctors claimed that the trait, in
combination with extreme physical activity and a high altitude, was the primary reason he needed
to have his spleen and gallbladder removed after a previous game in the city. However, it has been
estimated that at least 90 other NFL players carry the sickle cell trait, and of those who have played
in Denver, they have never experienced such issues before. In fact, a study performed by Howard
University in 2000, showed no complications in athletes carrying sickle cell trait during the Mexico
City Olympics, another high-altitude location. Suppose you were a coach of a high school, college,
or professional sports team. Knowing what you know about sickle cell anemia and the trait, how
would you handle a situation similar to this one, in which one of your players has sickle cell trait or
the disease? Justify your position.

There really doesn't seem to be anything remotely advanced about this question, especially for high school.that being said, the actual correct answer may depend on the lesson you received.but i'll use common knowledge to you out here.  an atlas is a map, a flat map which depicts the world, all the continents and large bodies of water and etc.  an almanac is basically a yearly calendar. this depicts all the stuff that happened during the year it was released after, such as important events, sporting stuff, astronomical data, etc. it really depends on what type of almanac you go for.encyclopedias contain vast knowledge about just about everything important around the globe. each encyclopedia is generally focused on a topic and it's relating topics, ordered by each book alphabetically.  information resource can be anything. internet, newspaper, talking dog of pure wisdom (joking), the bible (or the religious book for whatever religion is in question), etc. all of these are considered information resources, as they all provide information on their respective topics (the internet is pretty much all topics)now, once again, your true answer will be based on whatever it is you learned, which i would not know. my answer will simply be using common knowledge.but your answers that line up with weather, sports, and business would be an almanac, information resources, and encyclopedia.  unfortunately, in today's world, they have books for everything. they have almanacs for weather, sports, and business, and they also have encyclopedia's for those as well. and of course, you can find all of that using information resources as well.  the only truly incorrect answer here is atlases.  ~hope this !
