Which of these numbers represents the lower limit, or lower estimate,
  of sea-level rise? What will be an ideal response?



Question 2

You now have two estimates for the amount of sea-level rise if the ice sheets
  melted: your original estimate (question b in this investigation), and the
  estimate you calculated above, which accounts for a change in the surface
  area of the oceans.
  a. Which of these estimates represents the upper limit, or higher
  estimate, of sea-level rise? What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

The estimate that accounts for a change in ocean surface area (a 66-m sea-level rise)
represents the lower limit.



Answer to Question 2

The estimate that does not account for a change in ocean surface area (a 68-m sea-level
rise) represents the upper limit.

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.
