Question

review the sixth and seventh paragraphs. 2 myopia typically begins in childhood. children often dont realize they are myopic, says dr. mary frances cotch of the national eye institute, because myopia develops gradually and they dont have any way of knowing that their blurry vision is different from others. in most cases, the degree of nearsightedness stabilizes by the time a person reaches adulthood. some people, however, may have myopia that continues to worsen with age. 3 so what causes this vision problem? consider how the eye works. when you look at an object, the light rays of that object pass through the outermost layer of the eye (the cornea) and the lens. the cornea and the lens refract, or bend, the light and focus it on the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye (the retina). if you have perfect vision, the rays focus directly on the how do the sixth and seventh paragraphs work together? they discuss what researchers believed in the past and then what researchers know now. they both discuss what researchers have been exploring and finding about myopia. they both show that myopia is not inherited but is caused only by environmental factors. submit

Explanation:

The sixth paragraph talks about myopia starting in childhood and its development, while the seventh paragraph begins to explore the causes of myopia by looking at how the eye works. Both paragraphs are part of the exploration and findings about myopia. The first option about past and present beliefs is incorrect as there's no indication of time - related belief changes. The third option is wrong because there's no mention of inheritance vs. environmental factors in these paragraphs.

Answer:

They both discuss what researchers have been exploring and finding about myopia.
