Answer to Question 1

The American colony was established in order to extract resources for transformation into finished products and ship them back to Europe. Port cities were developed along major rivers to facilitate the transfer of products shipped from the Eastern interior.

Answer to Question 2

Students should mention a large labor force, ample water and hydroelectric power, and effective transportation by road, rail, and sea.

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.
