Answer to Question 1

ANS:Forests
filter rain as it falls and help reduce erosion of the soil. They trap soil sediment and help
maintain water quality. Trees and shrubs of the forest are also instrumental in removing many of the
pollutant materials from the air and from water runoff. Similarly, the roots of trees filter excess
nutrients from water runoff. They also help reduce the harmful effects of excess fertilizer nutrients that
enter streams and underground water systems.



Answer to Question 2

ANS:Plywood
is a construction material made of thin layers of wood glued together.

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.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
