Answer to Question 1

The U.S. Social Security Administration has established an official poverty line, based

on the minimum amount of money required for living at a subsistence level. The

poverty line is computed by determining the cost of a minimally nutritious diet (a low-

cost food budget on which a family could survive nutritionally on a short-term,

emergency basis) and multiplying this figure by 3 to allow for nonfood costs. Absolute

poverty exists when people do not have the means to secure the most basic necessities

of life. Absolute poverty often has life-threatening consequences, such as when a

homeless person freezes to death on a park bench. By comparison, relative poverty

exists when people may be able to afford basic necessities but are still unable to

maintain an average standard of living.

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.
