Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

Many farmers worldwide report both financial and conservation benefits from planting genetically engineered crops. Growing herbicide-resistant crops, for example, requires less tilling of the soil to reduce weed growth, decreasing soil loss from wind and water erosion. Pesticide-resistant crops demand less use of both petroleum-based pesticides and the fuel to run the equipment to apply them. Salt-resistant crops can grow in salty areas where conventional crops wither. If approached carefully, genetically engineered plants and animals promise economically feasible, environmentally less destructive options for agricultural lands.

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.
