Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The increase in airway diameter with increasing lung volume decreases airway resistance.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Laminar flow is affected by gas flow, viscosity of the gas, tube radius, and length. Turbulent flow is most affected by gas density and viscosity, linear velocity, and tube radius.

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.
