Answer to Question 1

B
Ratios only make sense if the scale of measurement is a ratio scale.

Answer to Question 2

A
This is an example of an interval scale because it has equal intervals on the scale but has only an arbitrary zero point (size 0 is not the absence of a foot).

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.
