Answer to Question 1

A
Altruism occurs when not only recipients benefit from assistance, but the individual who is giving assistance also benefits through improvement in his own self-esteem. Feedback refers to receipt of information about how one is perceived by others. Expressiveness is a group change mechanism in which group members share positive and negative emotions, and communion occurs in a group when members feel a sense of belonging.

Answer to Question 2

A
These are characteristics of conduct disorders. Adjustment disorders are characterized by a psychological response from an identifiable stressor or group of stressors that causes significant emotional or behavioral symptoms that do not meet criteria for more specific disorders; impulse-control disorders are characterized by a failure to resist impulses or temptations that are harmful to the person or to others; and oppositional defiant disorder refers to a pattern of negative, aggressive behaviors that is seen most commonly in children who focus on authority figures.

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.

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.
