Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Rites of passage refer to those ceremonies or other social markers that indicate the transition from one phase of life to another. Examples are getting a driver's license, which is a mark of the transition to adulthood for the adolescent, or the 21st birthday, or graduation from college, or marriage.

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.
