1. (B) Data for the duration of jocularities is given in Table 3, and the greatest entry, 11 seconds, corresponds to gastiles of duration 2.5 seconds.

2. (J) ‰ƒ‹ǡ –Š‡ ƒ•™‡” ‹• ‹ ƒ„Ž‡ ͹ǡ „—– this time there is no entry for 13 seconds. The largest entry is 12.0 seconds. Because primary jocularity duration increases as gastile duration increases, the corresponding entry in the “Primary Jocularities” column, if one existed, would likely be greater than 51 seconds.
