What does the article mean when it says that the
"facility had not been kept up"? Why would this increase
the mortality rate?

The Facility had not been properly maintained. If this is a Hospital or a similar caregiver Facility, to have water leaks, is to invite vermin and insects, which spread disease; if the Heating and Air/Con ducts are filthy and the filters not cleaned, it creates an environment ripe for molds and bacteria to be spread; maybe the heating/air conditioner don’t even work! All the more for concern. It is in simple terms, a place nowhere near an Ideal to house or treat people who are weakened and prone to infection or respiratory problems from filthy air and a lack of proper maintenance.

Explanation:

jeez la wheeze! i just checked other people who had the same question as you and both had terrible answers.

i hope i could be a little bit of a though!

hmm, lets see here. okay! so, i don't know the passages exactly since i haven't taken that quiz before, but! i will try to the best i can.

if you need on what igbo means, ill give you a hand.

igbo means a member of a people of southeastern nigeria.

so, they're asking you, "what passage uses igbo words or phrases and in at least 100 words, identify the kinds of context clues the author uses to hint at the words' meaning."

so basically, don't stress or over look this.

look closely at the passages and see if you can spot any of those hints! it doesn't have to be all, remember, its a quiz! no right or wrong answers.

the teachers are always there to and if you are struggling on this topic they will notice it in your score on the quiz and you.
