Answer to Question 1

Entitlements are government programs that provide funds to those who meet eligibility requirements rather than appropriating a fixed amount of money for a program. The increased used of entitlements has changed the budgetary process because it is difficult to hold entitlements to an incremental increase each year since it is difficult to predict how many individuals will be eligible for an entitlement in a given year and how much each individual will cost the government. As a matter of routine, entitlement expenditures have exceeded estimates. Increased spending on entitlements has added to the uncertainty of the budgetary process and placed considerable pressure on non-entitlements.

Answer to Question 2

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.
