Answer to Question 1

D
In a double-blinded study, neither the subjects nor the persons evaluating the outcome know whether any subject is receiving active treatment or placebo. In a regular blinded study, the researcher knows who is receiving treatment and who is receiving the placebo.

Answer to Question 2

A
Accomplishment of a goal, no matter how small, is very rewarding, and incremental goal-setting can be an effective way to provide opportunities for success. Giving frequent positive statements without foundation will not effectively build self-esteem in the child, and making major goals for the child will probably be overwhelming. Children with low self-esteem will not be motivated to participate in a peer self-help group because they usually withdraw and are not motivated to work on goals without guidance and help.

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).
