Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Delta's sales are likely to fluctuate during the business cycle less than the sales of Whirlpool and Boeing, but more than the sales of Taco Bell and GameStop. Appliances and aircraft are expensive durable goods that are sensitive to changes in economic conditions. On the other hand, fast food and video games are relatively inexpensive consumer goods that are relatively less sensitive to changes in economic conditions.

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.
