Answer to Question 1

Auctions that are held on eBay end at a pre-specified time. This leads to sniping  a practice where a bidder places bids at the last possible minute, just before the auction ends. This allows the bidder to win the auction, as the auction ends before other bidders can react. There appears to be no statistically significant benefit to sniping. Research has shown that the final prices for two identical goods were approximately the same, with sniping and without.

Answer to Question 2

D

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.
