  B) Higher voltages are easier to generate than lower voltages, so distributing them as a high voltage reduces equipment and saves money.
  C) High-voltage electricity travels faster than lower-voltage electricity and can get from one side of the country to the other in seconds.
  D) For safety because the insulation on the electrical distribution lines is not as effective at lower voltages.

Question 2

  A) The average kinetic energy in a substance. B) The average potential energy in a substance.

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.
