Answer to Question 1

D
The higher thought processes include good judgment (response A), capacity to reason (response B), and ability to think abstractly (response C). Knowing how to do laundry is a lower level of thinking and is less fragile.

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.
