Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Rites of passage refer to those ceremonies or other social markers that indicate the transition from one phase of life to another. Examples are getting a driver's license, which is a mark of the transition to adulthood for the adolescent, or the 21st birthday, or graduation from college, or marriage.

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.
