Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: The treatment for melancholy often included stimulants. Excess excitability was often treated with bloodletting or emetics. Symptoms that were attributed to cerebral dysfunction or hereditary predisposition were not usually treated with bloodletting.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: Patients with mental illness were often placed in chains as restraints. Stoning was frequently used as a punishment for adultery. Burning at the stake was a punishment for heresy and witchcraft. The Catholic Church distinguishes behavior that indicates the need for exorcism from behavior indicating mental illness.

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.
