Explanation:
- Boiled water typically eliminates pathogens, so it's an atypical way to catch a disease.
- In an investigation of a disease outbreak, determining the wealth of the diseased individuals might not be directly relevant to the cause of the disease.
- Diseases transmitted by person-to-person contact tend to spread more rapidly in crowded areas due to higher population density.
- The graph likely represents a person-to-person transmission pattern.
- A foodborne illness is more likely if all victims shopped at the same supermarket, indicating a potential common source of contaminated food.
