Question: Cilia and mucus would protect you from a cold virus. A. true B. false?
Answers:
True
Tell your teacher that the question is half correct or half wrong no matter how it is answered. If cilia and mucus protected people from cold viruses people would not get colds, so this means the answer is false.
On the other hand, cilia and mucus together provide a major protective mechanism for the respiratory system, but they are only a first line of defense and they have limited effectiveness at preventing colds or other respiratory infections. Since they provide some level of protection, it means the answer is true.
