Answer to Question 1

B
Psychological theories of aging stress developmental tasks (Erikson's eight stages of life theory); the fact that older people may form a subculture that has its own cultural norms, standards, beliefs, and expectations that make them different from other groups; and the idea of continuity or, in other words, that one's personality, characteristics, likes, and dislikes will continue in old agemaybe more so. Response B refers to a physiological theory of aging.

Answer to Question 2

C
Roughage from fruits and vegetables generally speeds intestinal movement and results in regular bowel movements and a reduced need for laxatives.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
