Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Conjunctivitis causes pain, redness, swelling, itching, and sometimes purulent discharge (pus). The discharge may be so thick and copious that the eyelids stick together. A hordeolum or stye is an acute inflammation of an oil or sweat gland of the eyelid. Styes are red, raised, swollen, and painful. A chalazion (meibomian cyst) is an accumulation of lipid (fatty) material from a chronically obstructed meibomian (sebaceous) gland found on the eyelid. Keratitis is an inflammation of the cornea caused by bacterial, viral, or fungal infections.

Answer to Question 2

A
