Explanation:

Question 83

To solve this, we analyze the medical terms:

• "palpebr/itis" : The suffix "-itis" means inflammation, and "palpebr-" refers to the eyelid. So palpebritis is eyelid inflammation.
• "blepharo/ptosis" : "blepharo-" refers to the eyelid, and "ptosis" means drooping. So blepharoptosis is eyelid drooping.

We match these with the options. The option "eyelid inflammation and eyelid drooping" matches the meanings of the two terms.

We recall the definition of hyperopia. Hyperopia is the medical term for farsightedness, where a person can see distant objects clearly but has difficulty seeing near objects. Nearsightedness is myopia, impaired vision due to aging is presbyopia, and clouding of the lens is cataracts.

Answer:

eyelid inflammation and eyelid drooping
