Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Since the Social Security program redistributes resources as well as provides insurance, it makes sense that it is compulsory for two reasons. First, the redistributive nature of the program makes it a bad deal for high-income workers who would likely opt out of the system if they were able to. This is called the adverse selection problem. Second, the pay-as-you-go nature of the program requires a regular influx of new contributors, thus new workers need to be forced to enter into the system as it needs their contributions.

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.
