4. What does the author mean by describing the pig as "mixingvessel”?
Difficulty Level:550
Explanation
The question requires you to determine the meanings of "mixingvessel” . At the beginning of the passage, the author states that "Avian flu virus picked up bypigs can swap genetic materials with another flu virus already in the pig and become a new, hitherto unknown fluvirus for which no person, no animal has preexisting immunity. The kind of virus causes a pandemic because it spreads from human to human.” In other words, pig is the pot in which viruses swap genes and become new, deadly germs. Therefore, the correct answer isB.
