Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
The preadolescence developmental stage (puberty) signals the development of secondary sex characteristics. Physical changes often begin 2 years earlier in girls than in boys. Preadolescents usually develop best friends with whom they share intimate feelings. New interest in the oppo-site sex develops in the preadolescence developmental stage.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
A warning sign that a teenager is considering suicide includes verbalization of suicidal thoughts. Appetite disturbances, usually a decrease in appetite, may be a warning sign that a teenager is considering suicide. A decrease in school performance and loss of initiative are possible warning signs that a teenager is considering suicide. Sleep disturbances, such as the inability to sleep, are a warning sign for suicide.

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.
