1. with ________, the optic axis of the eyes cannot be directed at the same object.

Explanation:

Question 1

To determine the meaning of "Myringitis", we analyze the medical term. "Myring-" refers to the eardrum (tympanic membrane), and "-itis" means inflammation. So we match this with the option "inflammation of the eardrum".

We analyze each eye condition. Strabismus is a condition where the eyes are misaligned, so their optic axes can't focus on the same object. Presbyopia is age - related farsightedness, macular degeneration affects the macula, and myopia is nearsightedness. So the correct answer is strabismus.

Answer:

A. inflammation of the eardrum (assuming the first option is labeled A, adjust label as per original if different)
