Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
A jagged cut through the skin or tissue, such as a cut made by a serrated knife, is called a laceration. An abrasion is a scrape of the skin surface, excoriation is an abrasion of the epidermis, and desquamation is flaking or shedding of the outer layers of skin.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
C in the RACE acronym stands for containing or confining the fire. R stands for the rescue of clients who can walk to safety; A is for alarm, reminding those involved to call for assistance; and E is for extinguish, or use fire extinguishers to put out the fire.

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.
