Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Answer to Question 2

New Zealanders may stand to benefit from increased investmentsalthough
some groups, such as the urbanites, may benefit more so. Depending on the type of connections,
other groups may disproportionately experience adverse effects; this holds, for example, if
agricultural relations are altered. The Maoris may specifically experience negative effects if
increased foreign investment leads to land-grabbing.

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.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
