Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. Reviewing the employees previous appraisals would provide information whether the
employee has legal ground to file for wrongful termination. Termination does apply to this act
if it is a result of race, color, sex, religion, or national origin. States have different regulations
regarding the criteria by which an employee may be terminated. The question describes the
issue as appraisals, not religion, being the concern for termination.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

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.
