Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
For depression symptoms to be classified as dysthymia, the client should have had a depressed mood for most of the day, most days for at least 2 years. The client subjectively describes this state, which may be observed by others. The presence of a depressed mood for less than 6 weeks, at least 3 months, or more than 6 months does not confirm the diagnosis of dysthymia.

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.
