Answer to Question 1

D
An unsolicited report is the type of informative report that Garry has prepared. An unsolicited
report is, quite simply, one that you make on your own initiative rather than one you are asked
to prepare or a periodic report that you are expected to prepare at regular intervals.

Answer to Question 2

C
A report that is prepared weekly to provide details about the number of product units
manufactured is an example of a periodic report. A periodic report is prepared at regular
intervals, for example, weekly, monthly, or quarterly. Any report prepared at specified intervals
is considered a periodic report.

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.
