Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Memory means that the immune system has the capacity to develop long-lasting protection against specific invaders. A residual set of cells that are specific to each antigen remains in the body, to be stimulated when the antigen presents itself at a later time. Each successive time the antigen is encountered, a quicker and more intense reaction is stimulated by the immune system in the healthy older person.

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.
