Answer to Question 1

It is the only planet with an oxygen-rich atmosphere and abundant liquid water on its surface (although there are hints that there may be liquid water on some of the moons around the jovian planets). Its surface temperature is such that water can exist in three phases: solid, liquid, and gaseous. Compared to its size, Earth also has by far the largest moon in the solar system, so much so that some astronomers consider it a double planet. Finally, Earth is the only planet we know of that harbors life.

Answer to Question 2

B

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.
