Answer to Question 1

D
According to Structural Family Theory, the optimal description of power is when parents assign responsibilities according to need and developmental level. Minuchin suggested that power has to do with the influence each family member has on the family. Accordingly, the parents would have equal power and as the children develop and mature they are giving additional power based on the situation. For example, in the parent's absence an older sibling would have the power to enforce family rules.

Answer to Question 2

C

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. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. 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.

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).
