Which of the following is true about Hendra according to the passage?In Sept. 1994, a violent disease began among a group of racehorses in a small town in Australia. The first victim was a female horse that was last seen eating grass beneath a fruit tree. Within hours, the horse’s health declined rapidly. Three people worked to save the animal—the horse’s trainer, an assistant, and a veterinarian. Nevertheless, the horse died two days later, leaving the cause of her death uncertain.
Within two weeks, most of the other horses in the stable became ill as well. All had high fevers, difficulty breathing, facial swelling, and blood coming from their noses and mouths. Meanwhile, the trainer and his assistant also became ill, and within days, the trainer was dead, too. Laboratory analysis finally discovered the root of the problem: The horses and men had been infected by a virus, Hendra. This virus had originated in bats that lived in the tree where the first horse had been eating grass. The virus passed from the bats to the horse, then to other horses and to people—with disastrous results.

해설
Hendra에 관해 옳은 것은 사람과 말 모두에게 치명적일 수 있다는 내용이다.
첫 감염 말이 죽었고 "the trainer was dead, too"(조련사도 사망했다)라고 하므로, 말과 사람 모두 사망 사례가 확인된다.
- "Its symptoms in humans include ..."는 근거가 없다. 고열·호흡곤란·안면 부종은 말들의 증상으로 서술되어 있다.
- "Horses got infected after eating the contaminated grass near the stable."은 틀리다. 지문은 바이러스가 박쥐에서 말로 옮겨 갔다고만 하고, 오염된 풀이 감염 경로라고 말하지 않는다.
- "It can be transmitted from humans to animals."는 근거가 없다. 지문이 밝힌 전파 방향은 말에서 사람으로("to other horses and to people")뿐이다.
- "Humans got infected directly from bats."는 틀리다. 박쥐에서 말을 거쳐 사람으로 옮겨 갔다.
