Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Extreme programming (XP) is a team-based agile method that focuses on frequent releases of workable software and time boxes for development. The approach stresses four fundamental principles: coding, testing, listening, and designing. A project will start with user stories, often written on 3 X 5 index cards, and the team arranges these into a plan for the features that will be in the next software release. A distinguishing feature of XP is that developers work in pairs, reviewing one another's work, providing each other with feedback, and testing the code as it is written. Often the pair will sit side by side, viewing the same monitor and pushing the keyboard and mouse back and forth as they collaborate to come up with good coding solutions. XP's strong emphasis on testing is also an important feature, and one reason for its development was to improve software quality.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

Did you know?

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

Did you know?

Astigmatism is the most common vision problem. It may accompany nearsightedness or farsightedness. It is usually caused by an irregularly shaped cornea, but sometimes it is the result of an irregularly shaped lens. Either type can be corrected by eyeglasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.
