Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, E
The scabs are not removed.

Answer to Question 2

C
Video games provide the advantages of increased eye-hand coordination and attention to detail. However, they also decrease the time spent doing physical activities, and parents should impose limits as many games decrease sensitivity to violence. There is no evidence that video games increase attention span. These games are thought to enhance visual perception, but not acuity.
