Answer to Question 1

False

Answer to Question 2

Tnnies used the terms Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft to characterize the degree of

social solidarity and social control found in societies. The Gemeinschaft is a traditional

society in which social relationships are based on personal bonds of friendship and

kinship and on intergenerational stability. Relationships are based on ascribed rather

than achieved status. In such societies, people have a commitment to the entire group

and feel a sense of togetherness. Social solidarity and social control are maintained by

the community. By contrast, Gesellschaft is a large, urban society in which social

bonds are based on impersonal and specialized relationships, with little long-term

commitment to the group or consensus on values. In such societies, self-interest

dominates, and little consensus exists regarding values. Relationships are based on

achieved statuses, and interactions among people are both rational and calculated.

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.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.
