Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Children with cystic fibrosis have increased energy requirements, nutrient malabsorption, and reduced food consumption. They may need 10-100 more calories than healthy children their age to achieve normal growth and maintain optimal nutrition status. One of the characteristics of cystic fibrosis is the loss of sodium in sweat, so the liberal use of table salt is advised.

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.

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.
