{'myopia': [2, 0, 0, 3], 'glasses': [0, 0, 2, 3], 'presbyopia': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'astigmatism': [2, 0, 1, 2], 'hypermetropia': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'newspaper': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

The correct answer to the question is option 4, hypermetropia.

Hypermetropia is a condition in which a person has difficulty seeing objects that are close to them clearly. This occurs when the eyeball is slightly shorter than normal, causing light rays to focus beyond the retina instead of directly on it. As a result, close-up objects appear blurry.

In the case of the person mentioned in the question, the fact that they are unable to read a newspaper without their glasses suggests that their vision problem is related to close-up objects, rather than objects at a distance. This rules out options 1 and 3, which are myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism respectively.

Presbyopia, which is option 2, is a condition that usually occurs as a natural part of aging. It affects the ability to see close-up objects clearly, as the eye`s lens loses flexibility. However, the question does not mention the age of the person, so it cannot be assumed to be the correct answer.

Therefore, based on the information provided in the question, the most likely condition that the person is suffering from is hypermetropia.
