Answer 1

Correct Answer: The body gets used to a weaker form of a virus

Rationale:

Vaccination works by introducing a weaker or inactivated form of a virus into the body. This does not cause the disease but stimulates the immune system to recognize and fight the virus if exposed in the future.
The immune system responds to the vaccine by producing antibodies and memory cells that will recognize and respond more quickly to the actual virus, providing immunity.

Explanation of Other Options:

The body never lets the same virus into it

Rationale: This is incorrect because vaccination does not prevent a virus from entering the body. Instead, it prepares the immune system to respond more effectively if the virus does enter the body.

The body always becomes ill for a short time

Rationale: This is incorrect because while some people may experience mild symptoms after vaccination, such as a low-grade fever or soreness at the injection site, it is not accurate to say the body always becomes ill. These symptoms are usually mild and short-lived.

None of these

Rationale: This is incorrect because one of the provided options correctly describes how vaccination works, specifically that the body gets used to a weaker form of the virus.

Conclusion:

The correct answer is that the body gets used to a weaker form of a virus, which accurately describes the principle of how vaccines function. By exposing the immune system to a weakened or inactivated virus, the body can develop immunity without causing the disease itself.
