Answer to Question 1

D
The BRAT diet has little nutritional value. Ginger ale is low in electrolytes and high in glucose. Broth has a high sodium content, which is contraindicated with diarrhea. Oral rehydration therapy provides the child with electrolytes and fluid, helping to restore balance.

Answer to Question 2

B

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.

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.
