Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: Resilience is the capacity to adapt constructively to difficulty. External locus of control places control of one's life on other people and on circumstances outside the self. Internal locus of control places control within the self. Primary appraisal occurs when an individual determines whether or not the event or stressor will impact his or her well-being.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: Promoting the capacity to adapt constructively to difficulty requires facing challenges. Reflection can help the individual to learn and adapt. Resilience requires a balanced approach to life. Positive emotions promote resilience.

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.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
