Answer to Question 1

A
The limbic system is concerned with subjective emotional experiences and with changes in body functions associated with emotional states.

Answer to Question 2

C
The Greek and Roman cultures developed the idea of humors: blood, black bile, yellow bile, and phlegm. Hippocrates believed that excesses of black bile caused melancholy. Through bloodletting, the excess could be removed. This was a primitive treatment of mental illness.

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.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
