Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Atmospheric refraction adds to daylight time. When we see the Sun on the horizon, it is already below it. Refraction makes it appear higher in the sky, and we have about 9 minutes of additional sunlight per day because of atmospheric refraction.

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.
