Answer to Question 1

Answer: An ideal response will:
1. Discuss how the Republican field was crowded while Obama was running uncontested in the Democratic nomination campaign.
2. Note that the Republican nomination campaign was contentious, with the various Republican candidates jockeying for position and attempting to undercut the other candidates. This may have hurt the Republicans by making them appear divisive and showcasing the Republican candidates' flaws.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: An ideal response will:
1. Discuss how incumbents might prefer to run positive ads rather than negative ones if possible.
2. Discuss how it might be necessary to run negative ads if the polls are close or if the challenger has gone negative. It might be useful to run an inoculation ad to limit any potential damage that might be done if the opponent goes negative.

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.

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).
