Answer to Question 1

C
Response:
African-American heritage is a risk factor specifically for visual impairment.

Answer to Question 2

B
Response:
If the child's father has lost visual acuity, he and his new son could possibly have the same 20/100 vision. Poor color detection, nearsightedness, and monocular vision are characteristic of newborns and result from their lack of development.
