Answer to Question 1

A
Explanation: This involves paralysis (-plegia) of all four (quadri-) extremities.

Answer to Question 2

D
Explanation: A my/o/cardi/al infarction is a heart attack. When a portion of the heart muscle has lost its blood flow, tissue death results. This may subsequently lead to a/rrhythm/ia, abnormal contraction, or cardiac arrest, where the heart completely ceases to contract. Congestive heart failure is a chronic disease.

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.
