Answer to Question 1

It is the 1934 federal law that authorized the U.S. government to establish and enforce regulations regarding the
grazing of public lands. It eventually led to the management of millions of acres of public lands by the Bureau of
Land Management.



Answer to Question 2

The open-range cattle industry grew as a result of a number of factors:
 the establishment of the railroad as a means of shipping cattle from the rangelands to eastern markets.
 lack of a system of private land ownership in the region.
 inadequate availability of fencing materials in the early years.
It ended because of
 irregular climate conditions.
 the advent of inexpensive and effective fencing materials.
 political decisions to favor the settlement of the area.
 settlement of the area by landowners.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

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.
