    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    If you are suffering from hypothermia, you actually need to increase your body temperature, not decrease it. Hypothermia is a condition where your body loses heat faster than it can produce it, causing a dangerously low body temperature. To treat hypothermia, it is important to warm the body gradually using methods such as removing wet clothing, covering with blankets, and applying warm packs. Therefore, the statement that you need to decrease your body temperature if you have hypothermia is false.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer

    Edgar Allan Poe did indeed use a pseudonym to get into the military. He enlisted in the United States Army under the name "Edgar A. Perry" in 1827, as he was underage and wanted to serve. He later revealed his true identity and was honorably discharged. This use of a pseudonym allowed Poe to circumvent the age requirement and pursue his desire to join the military.

    Explanation
    William Sydney Porter was indeed a pseudonym used by the American writer O. Henry. O. Henry is known for his short stories, which often had surprise endings and a focus on ordinary people. Using a pseudonym allowed him to separate his writing identity from his personal life and also added a sense of mystery to his works.
