Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Environmental reasons used to explain Africa's poverty are related to the relatively infertility of much of the region's soils. Likewise, many of the major rivers are only partially navigable, thus hindering to a certain extent patterns of trade. Other environmental factors include the prevalence of tropical diseases. Historical factors include the legacy of slavery and colonialism. Colonialism itself contributed to structural and institutional factors, such as limited infrastructure development, inefficient governments, and minimal connectivity to the global economy. Another institutional factor is that of corruption.

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.
