Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Memory means that the immune system has the capacity to develop long-lasting protection against specific invaders. A residual set of cells that are specific to each antigen remains in the body, to be stimulated when the antigen presents itself at a later time. Each successive time the antigen is encountered, a quicker and more intense reaction is stimulated by the immune system in the healthy older person.

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.
