Answer to Question 1

B
The inner ear is responsible for hearing and equilibrium. The middle ear, which contains the ossicles (auditory structures), conducts sound waves to the inner ear. The external ear collects and conveys sound waves to the middle ear.

Answer to Question 2

C
Diminished near vision in a patient over age 40 or so years is known as presbyopia. Diminished distant vision is known as myopia. Double vision is known as diplopia. Mydriasis or enlarged pupils may be seen with glaucoma.
