Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

A quick scan of the list of drugs and medications that can damage the developing child yields a simple no, since even commonly used drugs such as aspirin, vitamins, and tobacco can be very harmful. Alcohol consumption is especially dangerous to the child. Even prescription medication should be taken only when it is essential to treat a medical condition in the mother or developing child. Teratogens are generally most harmful during the embryonic period, which means, among other things, that many mothers consume potential teratogens prior to knowing that they are pregnant. Women who are trying to get pregnant should avoid potential teratogenic agents if possible. The timing of exposure, dosage, duration of exposure, and genetic vulnerability are all factors that can influence whether there will be adverse effects, how severe those effects are, and what they will be.

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.

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.
