Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

The tax system is regressive.
When income is 20,000, the tax payment is 2,000, so the tax rate is 10.
When income is 25,000, the tax payment is 2,250, so the tax rate is 9.
When income is 30,000, the tax payment is 2,400, so the tax rate is 8.
When income is 35,000, the tax payment is 2,450, so the tax rate is 7.
As income increases, the tax rate decreases, which means the tax is regressive.

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.
