Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

PPP is purchasing power parity. To make the most valid international comparisons of real GDP, we need to value each nation's production using the same prices rather than by using exchange rates and the prices within each country because relative prices within different countries can vary widely. As a result, if the real GDP of each country is valued using the same prices then the comparison of real GDP among the countries is more accurate.

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.
