Answer to Question 1

C
Malignant neoplasms form irregularly shaped masses that have fingerlike projections. Because of their rapid growth, cancer cells often spread from an initial site to other parts of the body via the blood or lymph systems; this spread is known as metastasis and its progress depends on the type of cancer.

Answer to Question 2

B
An oral temperature may be taken in most children 6 years of age or older, including adolescents. The procedure is the same as for adults.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

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.
