Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Normally in dark-skinned people, small brown macules may be observed in the sclera.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A normal response for the diagnostic positions test is parallel tracking of the object with both eyes. Eye movement that is not parallel indicates a weakness of an extraocular muscle or dysfunction of the CN that innervates it.
