This is due to the deterioration of the myelin sheaths within her nervous system. Ruth most clearly suffers from a) Alzheimer's disease. b) depression. Oc) multiple sclerosis. d) epileptic seizures.

Answer 1

The correct answer is c; multiple sclerosis because fatigue, difficulty in movement and coordination, and impairment of vision are some of the most common symptoms associated with it. Also, it happens because of the deterioration of the myelin sheaths within the nervous system. The other options are incorrect because Alzheimer's disease has memory loss and confusion as the common symptoms, depression is associated with the persistent feeling of sadness and disinterest, and epileptic seizures has loss of consciousness, jerking movements and confusion as the most common symptoms.
