Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Atlantic hurricane activity has increased since the mid-1990s. The leading candidate proposed by researchers to explain that trend is the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO). The AMO is a 25 to 40-year oscillation in water temperatures, with positive values corresponding to increased Atlantic hurricane activity. The current positive AMO phase began around 1995.

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.
