Answer to Question 1

An organization can take four approaches to reuse. Ad hoc reuse allows individuals to find or develop reusable assets on their own. Another approach, facilitated reuse, developers are not required to practice reuse but are encouraged to do so. Managed reuse mandates the development, sharing and adoption of reusable assets. The organization does this by establishing policies and procedures for reuse. The last approach, designed reuse, mandates that components are designed for reuse as they are being developed for a specific application.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
Explanation: An identifier should not change and also be numeric when possible. If it could change, it may not be unique after the change is made.
