Answer to Question 1

In this case, the United States makes a two billion dollars capital transfer to Argentina, which should appear as a negative two billions entry in the capital account. The associated credit is in the financial account, in the form of a two billion dollars reduction in U.S. assets held abroad, i.e., a net asset export, and therefore a positive balance of payments entry.

Answer to Question 2

Risk aversion is a characteristic of a person that dislikes risk. An example of this is someone who takes out rental or home insurance to reduce the risk of some kind of catastrophe from happening.

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.
