Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
PTSD is a psychiatric disorder that can occur after an individual's experiencing or witnessing a life-threatening event. People who suffer from PTSD often relive the experience through nightmares and flashbacks. The social and psychological symptoms can be severe enough, and last long enough, to significantly impair a person's daily life.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Concern about firearms arises when it has been shown that guns kept in the home for self-protection are more likely to kill a family member or a friend than an attacker. Furthermore, the presence of a gun in the home triples the risk for homicide in the home, increases the risk of suicide three to five times, and accidental deaths by four times.

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.
