Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

The statement is correct. The sum of the current account balance plus the capital and financial account balance plus the official settlements account must equal zero. If the official settlements account balance is zero, then the sum of the current account balance plus the capital and financial account balance must equal zero. Therefore a current account surplus must be balanced by an equally-sized capital and financial account deficit.

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.
