Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Children with astigmatism often have blurry vision and difficulty seeing letters as a whole, affecting their reading ability. They may have headaches and dizziness and often learn to tilt their heads slightly so that they can focus more effectively (which leads to normal vision screenings). Children with myopia can see well at close range but have difficulty focusing well on the blackboard or other objects at a distance. Hyperopia is characterized by blurriness at close range, with the ability to see at a distance. Nystagmus is manifested by a very rapid irregular eye movement.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The testes are responsible for sperm production. The seminal vesicles produce nutrient seminal fluid. The scrotum surrounds and protects the testes. The prostate gland and the seminal vesicles produce fluid to nourish the sperm.
