Answer to Question 1

4

Answer to Question 2


Sodium selenite and sodium selenate are inorganic forms of selenium. Sodium selenate is almost completely absorbed, but much of it is excreted in the urine. Sodium selenite is only about 50 absorbed, but is better retained than sodium selenate. Selenomethionine, an organic form of selenium, is about 90 absorbed. Presently, there is little consensus among nutritionists that one form of selenium supplement is better than the others.

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.
