Answer to Question 1

A
Funding is justified based on the high incidence of mental illness. The origins of mental illness are multifaceted. It is overly simplistic to associate these problems with one or two variables.

Answer to Question 2

D
Research findings about the effectiveness of estrogen for prevention of AD are inconclusive; however, estrogen therapy is clearly associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events. The distracters are incorrect statements.

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.
