Answer to Question 1

Social capital refers to the infrastructure of a particular region or country. If the country in question has inadequate social infrastructure like poor roads or schools then it might not be a good decision to relocate because the firms' workers will have a hard time getting to work and won't be as well educated because of the lack of good schools.

Answer to Question 2

B

Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
