Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Increased estrogenic activity may include side effects such as cyclic breast changes and chloasma as well as increased dysmenorrhea and menorrhagia. Increased progestin causes decreased libido, weight gain, and fatigue.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Progestin alters the quantity and viscosity of cervical mucus, making it thick and hostile to sperm penetration. Estrogen inhibits proliferative and secretory changes in the endometrium. Progestin decreases muscle and ciliary motility and decreases the LH surge.

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.
