Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The energy budget is the balancing of incoming and outgoing energy to the earth. It can be affected by albedo, which reflects energy away from the surface (cooling), the amount of energy from the sun, which when increased causes warming, and the amount of energy trapped by the atmosphere near the surface caused by increased amount of greenhouse gases (warming).

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.
