Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
The brachioradialis reflex is initiated by striking the forearm just above the wrist. The biceps reflex is initiated by striking the biceps tendon, while the triceps reflex is initiated by striking just above the olecranon process. The Achilles reflex is initiated by dorsiflexion of the foot and striking the Achilles tendon.

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.
