5.

What SPF should you use if you do not burn easily?
- A.
  
  SPF 55
- B.
  
  SPF 80
- C.
  
  SPF 5
- D.
  
  SPF 30
Correct Answer
D. SPF 30

Explanation
If you do not burn easily, using a lower SPF like 30 is sufficient for protecting your skin from the harmful effects of the sun. SPF 30 provides a high level of protection by blocking about 97% of the sun's UVB rays. It allows for some natural tanning while still preventing sunburn. Higher SPFs like 55 or 80 may provide slightly more protection, but the difference is minimal. It is important to reapply sunscreen regularly and take other sun protection measures regardless of the SPF level used.

What should you do when you are caught in a riptide?
- A.
  
  Start flailing around and freak out
- B.
  
  Start swimming frantically
- C.
  
  Swim parallel to the waves
- D.
  
  Float away
Correct Answer
C. Swim parallel to the waves

Explanation
When caught in a riptide, swimming parallel to the waves is the correct course of action. Riptides are strong currents that can pull swimmers away from the shore. By swimming parallel to the waves, you can escape the pull of the riptide and make your way back to the shore safely. Flailing around or swimming frantically can exhaust you and make the situation worse. Floating away will only take you further from the shore.
