○ dilate
○ clears
○ heals

○ partial or complete paralysis caused by cancer
○ partial paralysis caused by an infection
○ complete paralysis caused by spinal cord compression
○ partial or complete paralysis caused by a brain injury

Explanation:

Question 65

Mydriatic drops are used in ophthalmology to widen (dilate) the pupils, for example, during eye examinations. "Constrict" is the opposite (used by miotic drops), "clears" and "heals" do not relate to pupil size change.

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a group of disorders affecting movement and posture, caused by damage to the developing brain (often before, during, or shortly after birth). The first option is incorrect (not cancer), the second (infection - CP is not from infection - related paralysis in this way), third (spinal cord compression causes different conditions like spinal cord injury - related paralysis, not CP). The fourth option matches the definition of CP.

Answer:

B. dilate
