Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Banks earn a higher return by using the funds they acquire from their deposits to buy higher-yielding, riskier assets such as loans. But these assets are risky. If the loans fail, then the bank might not have sufficient funds to repay their depositors. If the bank undertakes too much risk, then its depositors might rush to withdraw their deposits, which would cause the bank to fail. But if the bank forgoes all risky assets its profit will be much lower. So the bank must balance its search for higher return against the risk earning the return entails.

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.
