Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The temperature of the washer sterilizer ranges from 250 F to 280 F (121 C to 138 C).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
UV rays can cause burns similar to sunburns, and thus skin covering and protective goggles must be worn when exposed to them. Pathogens moving across the ray of UV light may not be exposed to radiant energy long enough for effective contact and destruction to occur.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
