Answer

Brief Explanations:

a. The quote only discusses what would happen if symptomatic people were quarantined. There is no information given about what would occur if they were not quarantined, so nothing can be concluded. b. The ability of asymptomatic people to transmit the disease does not give any information about whether symptomatic people were quarantined or not. There is no connection established in the given quote.

Answer:

a. D. Nothing can be concluded. b. D. No, everyone was quarantined. (Note: This option seems a bit off - base as the real reason is lack of connection in the quote, but among the options it is the most reasonable in the context of the lack of information about symptomatic people's quarantine status from the asymptomatic - transmission fact).
