Which of the following best explains why many jovian moons have been more geologically active than the Moon or Mercury?
 
  A) Jovian moons are made mostly of ice that can melt or deform at lower temperatures than can the rock and metal that make up the Moon and Mercury.
  B) The jovian moons are considerably larger than the Moon and Mercury and therefore have retained much more internal heat.
  C) The jovian moons probably have far more internal heat generated by radioactive decay than do the Moon or Mercury.
  D) Because of their greater distances from the Sun, the jovian moons receive much less heat from the Sun.

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.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
