Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

Malthus argued that population increases exponentially, in a geometric pattern of

progression (2, 4, 8, 16, ) whereas the food supply would increase only by an

arithmetic progression (1, 2, 3, ). Parents have two children, sixteen grandchildren,

and so on, whereas food production increases just one acre at a time. This results in a

doubling effect so that population growth inevitably surpasses the food supply, and the

lack of food ultimately ends population growth and perhaps eliminates the existing

population. However, Malthus suggested that this disaster might be averted by either

positive or preventive checks on population.

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.
