1. Cotton swabs are a safe and easy way to clean wax from inside your ears.
- A.
  
  True

Explanation
Cleaning wax from inside your ears with cotton swabs is not safe.

  Inflammation and coughing
- D.
  
  Obstruction and allergies
Correct Answer
A. Inflammation and obstruction

Explanation
Infection of the sinus cavities often occurs due to inflammation and obstruction of the sinus drainage pathways. Inflammation can cause the sinus cavities to become swollen and irritated, making it difficult for mucus to drain properly. This can create a breeding ground for bacteria or viruses, leading to infection. Obstruction of the sinus drainage pathways can also prevent mucus from draining effectively, allowing it to build up and become infected. Therefore, both inflammation and obstruction play a role in the development of sinus infections.
