Answer to Question 2

D
Explanation: The renal blood vessels enter and leave the kidney at the hilum. The cortex is the outer portion of the kidney. The renal papilla is the tip of the renal pyramids. The medulla is the inner area of the kidney.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
