Answer to Question 1

A
Because the nausea and vomiting are anxiety-induced, lorazepam (a benzodiazepine) may be used to reduce both the anxiety and the nausea and vomiting. The other medications listed are useful in treatment of nausea and vomiting.

Answer to Question 2

B
Americans have tended to view the poor as either worthy or unworthy of public support. Children and their mothers have generally been regarded as worthy, whereas the fathers of working age are considered unworthy. It is generally felt that they have the ability to seek and secure employment to support their families.

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.

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.
