Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
When a study looks at individuals with a particular condition in comparison with those who do not have the disease, based on their exposures to various life situations, it is a retrospective study; that is, the study requires participants to look back at previous experiences. A cross-sectional study examines relationships between potential causal factors and disease at a specific time. A prospective study monitors a group of disease-free individuals to determine if and when disease occurs. A true experiment involves both an experimental group who receives an intervention and a control group who does not receive an intervention.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Prospective studies monitor a group of individuals to determine if and when disease occurs. A cross-sectional study examines relationships between potential causal factors and disease at a specific time. A retrospective study compares individuals with a particular condition or disease with those who do not have the disease. A true experiment involves both an experimental group who receives an intervention and a control group who does not receive an intervention.

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.
