Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

The nebular hypothesis describes the formation of the solar system from a rotating cloud of space dust and gases (a nebula). Due to gravitational forces, the cloud began collapsing in and dust particles started colliding together to form planetesimals. Planetesimals collided into each other, forming protoplanets, and eventually repeated accretions and collisions grew these protoplanets into the planets of the solar system.

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.
