   b. Tank technology would have become sufficiently advanced to turn war in favor of the defense.
  c. Germany's economy and industrial might would have surpassed its neighbors and precluded the need for war.
   d. Russia was using French money to build railroads that could have transported its troops faster.

Which of the following is the most accurate description of Sino-Soviet relations?

  b. Before communist governments came to power in both countries, the two
  countries had almost no interaction.
  c. Historically, China acquired large quantities of Russian territory in the nineteenth
  century. This accounts for much of Russia's current animosity toward China.

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.
