Answer to Question 1

B
Electronic wands at airport security check stations can alter the setting on the AICD. People with AICDs should have certification that they have the embedded device. High altitudes and clothing will not alter the settings.

Answer to Question 2

B
The person with macular degeneration sees a dark spot in his central vision. Peripheral vision is not affected until later in the disease.
