Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Sir John Ross and his nephew, Sir James Clark Ross, attacked deep-sea sampling. They used a
clamping sampler which trapped specimens from various depths. They even sampled from 1,919
meters deep near the coast of Greenland. Information can be found in the section Voyaging Combined
with Science to Advance Ocean Studies



Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Although Benjamin Franklin and Tim Folger were the first to document these patterns off eastern
North America, Matthew Maury used their information and a trove of additional information to create
worldwide charts with these patterns. He would then issue these charts to mariners in exchange for
their own logbooks. Information can be found in the section The First Scientific Experiments Were
Undertaken by Government

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.
