Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Ask women whether they frequently polish their nails and use polish remover, because chemicals in these products cause excessive nail dryness. Inflammatory lesions and fungus of the nail bed cause thickened, horny nails, which separate from the nail bed. Dry climates and washing dishes do not cause excessively dry nails

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
Plantar warts are caused by a papilloma virus and can be spread. Answers 2, 3, and 4 are all methods by which plantar warts can be removed.

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.
