The simplest, cheapest and safest way to correct long sight is with glasses.
Convex prescription lenses (called plus lenses) are used to bend light rays slightly inwards / converge them to give a little bit of additional focusing power to the eye.

Adaptation & Evolution
Solution
Chewing the cud is an adaptation peculiar to?
A
Herbivores
B
Omnivores
C
Rodents
D
Ruminants
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
Cud chewing is also necessary because the foods ruminant animals eat are difficult to digest and it takes extra effort to get all of the nutrients from the food.
Other examples of ruminant animals include deer, camels, buffalo, goats, sheep, and giraffes.
The main difference between ruminant and non-ruminant animals is that ruminant animals are herbivores whereas non-ruminant animals are omnivores or carnivores.
Thus, ruminant animals have a complex rumen to digest plant material while non-ruminant animals have a simple stomach since their food is easy to digest.
Non-ruminant animals are animals with a single-compartment stomach, such as swine, poultry, horses, dogs, cats, and humans.

Excretion & Homeostasis
Solution
Which of the following functions of the body are nephrons associated with?
A
Circulation
B
Digestion
C
Excretion
D
Reproduction
E
Respiration
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
The nephron is primarily associated with excretion. It's the functional unit of the kidney, responsible for filtering waste products from the blood and forming urine, which is then excreted from the body. While the nephron does interact with the circulatory system by filtering blood, its main role is to remove waste and excess water, not to directly participate in blood circulation.
