Answer to Question 1

Answer: Schemas are cognitive structures that we use to organize our knowledge of the social world. Schemas are adaptive in providing continuity and in helping us relate new experiences to old experiences. They enable us to minimize cognitive effort. They are especially useful when we encounter ambiguous information, for they give us a cognitive structure with which to interpret the confusing information.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

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.
