Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Barrier islands are narrow and exposed sand-bars. They are parallel to the shore, but separate from the
land. Information can be found in the section Larger-Scale Features Accumulate on Depositional
Coasts.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
There are three factors that heavily impact eustatic change. Global glaciations, the amount of seafloor
spreading, and temperature variations can cause long-term changes in sea level. Information can be
found in the section Coasts Are Shaped by Marine and Terrestrial Processes.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

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.
