Answer to Question 1

A GFCI is a ground-fault circuit interrupter.

Answer to Question 2

Ten safety precautions are: (1) Never disconnect or damage any safety device that is provided by the
manufacturer or specified by electrical code; (2) do not touch electrical appliances, boxes, or wiring
with wet hands or feet; (3) do not remove the long ground prong from three-prong 120-volt plugs; (4)
use ground-fault interrupters in kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and outdoor circuits or whenever moisture
may increase shock hazard; (5) immediately discontinue the use of any extension cord that feels warm
or smells like burning rubber; (6) do not place extension cords under carpeting; (7) install all electrical
wiring according to the specifications of the National Electrical Code; (8) use only double insulated
portable tools or tools with three-wire grounded cords; (9) if a fuse is blown or circuit breaker is
tripped, determine and correct the problem before inserting a new fuse or resetting the breaker; and
(10) do not leave heat-producing appliances such as irons hair dryers, and soldering irons unattended.



Answer to Question 3

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.
