Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Sodium is largely responsible for regulating fluid balance. It also regulates cell permeability and the movement of fluid, electrolytes, glucose, insulin, and amino acids. Sodium is pivotal in acidbase balance, nerve transmission, and muscular irritability.

Answer to Question 2

A
Meat, dairy products, and nuts are major sources of dietary fat (even though some meats and dairy products can be very low in fat; overall these food groups contribute significant dietary fat). Nuts provide dietary fiber, but meat and dairy products do not. These foods contain some vita-mins but are not considered major sources. Dairy products and nuts contain a little carbohydrate but meat is almost carbohydrate free.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
