Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

When investment is higher than saving, the difference is a net capital inflow. The extra investment that is financed by foreigners is an addition to their wealth, rather than an increase in the wealth of domestic citizens. The income from such investment must be paid to the foreign owners, thus is not available to contribute to domestic income and saving. The source of the capital inflow is a continual excess of imports over exports (negative trade balance). Imports are being financed through the sale of assets to foreigners. It is not so much investment but consumption that is unsustainably high; saving is unsustainably low.

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.
