Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

In each case, the party exposing others to risk is doing so for their own gain - you for convenience and the tablet manufacturer for profit. If benefits exceed costs in both cases, there is no fundamental difference. If costs exceed benefits in one case and not the other, there is a difference.

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.
