Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

C
Having been threatened with the loss of life is much more likely to elicit strong psychological responses. While the threat of loss of autonomy, livelihood, and social relationships can result in some psychological response, strong psychological responses are much more common among those threatened with a loss of life.

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.
