Read the passage below and choose one correct answer for each question. ( 1)
Robert Edwards was blinded in an automobile nine years ago. He was also partially deaf because of age. Last week, he was controlling near his home when a thunderstorm approached. He took refuge under a tree and was struck by lightning. He was knocked to the ground and woke up some 20 minutes later, lying face down in water below a tree. He went into the house and lay down in bed. A short time later, he awoke; his legs were numbed and he was trembling, but, when he opened his eyes, he could see the clock across the room fading in and out in front of him. When his wife entered, he saw her for the first time in nine years. Doctor confirmed that he has regained his sight and hearing apparently from the flash of lightning, but they were unable to explain the occurrence. The only possible explanation offered by one doctor was that, since Edwards lost his sight as a result of trauma in a terrible accident, perhaps the only way it could be restored was by another trauma.
