Answer to Question 1

Intimate apparel in the 1950s and into the 1970s was uncomfortable and restricting. Beginning
in the 1980s and the influence of celebrities such as Madonna and designer Jean Paul Gaultier,
intimate apparel literally came out from under garments to be seen as outer garments and
enhanced body parts rather than hide them.

b The law of diminishing returns is the principle that says as successive increments of a
variable resource are added to a fixed resource, the marginal product (the total change in total
product associated with each new unit of the variable resource) will eventually decrease.

Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

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.
