Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

Nineteenth-century intellectuals celebrated the heroic personality, especially in its dedication to the causes of liberty and equality. And so, the figures of Napoleon and Frederick Douglass were ideal manifestations of this personality, as they each fought risky battles for the goals of freedom. Napoleon represented the hero in both idealistic ways (spreading the revolutionary ideals of liberty, fraternity, and equality throughout his empire) as well as physical (stunningly successful military campaigns). His self-conscious individualism, a sense of personal power, and unbridled egotism fit well with the idea of how a Romantic hero should behave.
Douglass was an American Promethean hero, a champion of liberty in nineteenth-century America, crusading against the institution of slavery. Although abolitionists, such as Douglass, would never have thought of themselves in these terms (as perhaps Napoleon would have), history reveals them to be heroes of their time. Like Prometheus, slave rebels mounted outright attacks against their owners and masters in their efforts to gain a prized privilege: freedom.

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.

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.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
