Answer to Question 1

A
Feeling low may be a symptom of depression. Low moods occurring with regularity should signal the need for further assessment for other symptoms of depression. The other options do not focus on mood.

Answer to Question 2

C
During adolescence interest in people of the opposite gender begins to increase. By age 14 years, teens explore the concepts of sex appeal and being in love. More than 50 of them have experienced sexual intercourse by this age.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. 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.
