Answer to Question 1

B
Measurement of visual acuity can determine refractory errors such as presbyopia, the inability to focus on close objects.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Although setting such a goal depends very much on the patient and the course of his recovery, it seems reasonable to set a goal of walking 10 blocks (a little more than a mile) every day within a year. That is not so much as to seem unreachable, or so little as to seem worthless. If the patient tries to make progress toward that goal but fails, the goal can be revised after a few months.
