Answer to Question 1

Answer:
1. Postmodernism is associated with disjunction.
2. This disjunction is exemplified in the two towers in Gehry's and Miluni's Rasin Building, which move in different directions yet remain connected.
3. Robert Venturi's 1972 book on Las Vegas described the collision of styles, signs, and symbols of the American strip as a new sort of unity.
4. The new unity is considered postmodern in that it includes everything, whereas as traditional art excludes elements not considered artful.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The patterns beautify the sacred text. The Cross page of the Lindisfarne Gospels portrays the Celtic Cross in a checkerboard pattern that includes interlaced ribbons and fighting animals.

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.
