  B) Fear
  C) Activity intolerance
  D) Impaired social interaction

Question 2

  He tells you to leave and that he does not want anyone to see him or know what I did. You respond:
  A) You will need to face people sooner or later.
  B) You are here for treatment of an illness, not judgment of an action.
  C) I guess I wouldn't want to been seen either. You may stay here.

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.
