Answer to Question 1

C
A sudden change in personality is not a normal sign of aging. By older adulthood, the personality is deeply entrenched. Patterns of thinking and behaving remain intact until death. Do not assume that a personality change in an older adult is normal. Changes in emotional control, responses, and levels of interest must be investigated. Many physical and biochemical problems first appear as subtle changes in personality.

Answer to Question 2

2
The child-rearing practices of adults vary considerably.
