Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The diaphragm type of valve has two diaphragms, one made of steel and one made of copper. Aluminum and chrome-molybdenum are metals that are used in the construction of cylinders.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Fusible-plug pressure-relief valves operate on the principle that as the pressure in a tank increases, the temperature of the gas increases, causing the plug to melt. Spring-loaded devices are de-signed to release excessive cylinder pressure and reseal, preventing further release of gas from the cylinder after the cause of the excessive pressure is removed. The rupture-disk will buckle when the pressure inside the cylinder exceeds a certain predetermined limit. Direct-acting valves are not pressure-relief valves; instead, they are controlling devices that seal the contents of a com-pressed cylinder until it is ready for use.

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.

Serum cholesterol testing in adults is recommended every 1 to 5 years. People with diabetes and a family history of high cholesterol should be tested even more frequently.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

Hyperthyroidism leads to an increased rate of metabolism and affects about 1% of women but only 0.1% of men. For most people, this increased metabolic rate causes the thyroid gland to become enlarged (known as a goiter).
