Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Assimilation is the first step in trying to categorize the world into organized concepts that Piaget called schemes. With assimilation, the child attempts to fit new information into existing schemes. For example, a child who has learned that a furry creature is called a kitten, may call all furry creatures kitten. Accommodation refers to the process of creating new schemes when existing schemes cannot accurately categorize the new information. The same child, for example, will eventually learn that puppies and kittens are different and that schemes must be created for both.

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.

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.
