Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
This represents a broad opening statement that allows for greater subjective information. Chronic exposure to stress can slow bowel activity, resulting in decreased frequency of bowel movements.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Stage 1 is transitional stage between drowsiness and sleep, indicated by a shift from alpha waves to low-voltage, fast theta on the EEG. This stage usually lasts only a few minutes, and, if awakened, the person may say he was not asleep.

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.
