Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
In anaphylaxis, the antigenantibody reaction works to the person's detriment. The release of chemicals in the body, such as histamine, causes reactions affecting several body systems (systemic). Anaphylaxis (anaphylactic shock) is a type I allergic, life-threatening reaction to a substance. A severe type I reaction occurs within minutes of exposure. Anaphylaxis is life threatening.

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.

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.
