Question

1. what lies directly behind the pupil and iris?

○ vitreous fluid
○ retina
○ lens
○ cornea

1. the latin word deprimere, meaning ____ , is the derivative of depression.

○ sadness
○ to press down
○ having lethargy

Explanation:

Question 21

To solve this, we recall the anatomy of the eye. The cornea is in front of the iris and pupil. The vitreous fluid is behind the lens. The retina is at the back of the eye. The lens is directly behind the pupil and iris, as it focuses light after it passes through the pupil/iris.

We analyze the etymology of "depression". The Latin "deprimere" breaks down: "de-" (down) + "primere" (press). So its meaning is "to press down". "Sadness" is a result of depression, not the root meaning. "Having lethargy" and "moving backwards" don't relate to the Latin root.

Answer:

lens (the option with "lens")
