Answer to Question 1

b
Explanation:
a. farsightedness: is called hyperopia
b. night blindness: correct
c. nearsightedness: is called myopia
d. lazy eye: is called amblyopia

Answer to Question 2

A
Explanation: Hyper- means excessive, hidr/o means sweat, and -osis means abnormal condition; therefore, hyperhidrosis means abnormal condition of excessive sweat. Ahidrosis is spelled incorrectly. An- means without, hidr/o means sweat, and -osis means abnormal condition; thus, anhidrosis means abnormal condition of no sweat. Hypo- means below or insufficient, hidr/o means sweat, and -osis means abnormal condition; hence, hypohidrosis means abnormal condition of insufficient sweat.
