Answer to Question 1

D
A phenomenon is an observable fact that can be perceived through the senses and explained. A grand theory is composed of concepts representing global and extremely complex phenomena. A paradigm is a particular viewpoint or perspective. A metaparadigm is the unifying force in a discipline that names the phenomena of concern to that discipline.

Answer to Question 2

A
Bradypnea is respiratory rate of 10 or fewer breaths per minute. Eupnea refers to respirations that are easy with a normal rate of breaths per minute that are age-specific. Hypoventilation is characterized by shallow slow respirations. Hyperventilation is characterized by deep rapid respirations. Tachypnea is a respiratory rate greater than 24 breaths per minute.

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.
