According to the text, which age group is particularly susceptible to the adverse effects of heat?

  1. Infants and young children

  2. Teenagers

  3. Middle-aged adults

  4. Pets

The correct answer is: Infants and young children

Infants and young children are particularly susceptible to the adverse effects of heat because their bodies are not fully developed and cannot regulate temperature as effectively as adults. Teenagers and middle-aged adults may also be at risk, but infants and young children have a higher risk due to their smaller size and inability to communicate discomfort. Pets may also be vulnerable to heat, but the passage specifically mentions infants and young children as being especially susceptible.
