  Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

Question 2

Many managers and employees are reluctant to accept empowerment, but they are even more reluctant to offer empowerment.

  Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

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.
