Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Subjective age describes a person's perception of his or her age. While perceived age is other people's estimation of someone's age. Chronologic age is the length of time that has passed since birth, and functional age is associated with whether individuals can contribute to society and experience personal quality of life.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Ageism is a way of pigeonholing people and not allowing them to be individuals with unique ways of living their lives. Older adults between the ages 81 and 98 held more ageist stereotypes and reported more avoidance of older adults than younger older adults. The antiaging movement views aging as a process that can be stopped and the life span as something that can be extended for up to 200 years. Aging anxiety is fears about detrimental effects associated with older adulthood. Age attribution is the tendency to attribute problems to the aging process rather than to pathologic and potentially treatable conditions.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
