Answer to Question 1

A, B, C

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Over time, the secondary immune response may also show changes. The number of B cells in the circulation decreases in some individuals. As a result, tissues are slower to repair and are more vulnerable to disease, especially infections. A decline in the production of IgE leads to a decrease in allergic or hypersensitivity reactions.

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.
