Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Topologies determine not only how devices are connected to each other, but also how they access the media they use for communication. A topology is both physical and logical. A traditional star topology is configured such that a central controlling device has other networked devices connected to it by point-to-point circuits. A ring topology uses a single cable such that the cable ends meet and form a closed loop. IBM also introduced the token ring protocol, which is associated with the ring topology. The bus topology, like the ring, views its circuit as a single cable. Unlike the ring, the cable does not form a closed loop. Devices connect to the central cable, using it as a communications pipeline. The protocol most often associated with the bus topology is Ethernet.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
