Answer to Question 1

B
As financial situations may have declined as a result of many economic factors, more older adults work past their retirement age. The other options may be reasons for some to continue working, but financial necessity is the reason the majority continue to do so.

Answer to Question 2

A
The key societal issue addressed by the age stratification theory is the concept of interdependence between the aging person and society at large. This theory views the aging person as an individual element of society and also as a member, with peers, interacting in a social process. The theory attempts to explain the interdependence between older adults and society and how they constantly influence each other in a variety of ways. Variation exists among the members of a cohort. Health problems are not the same for every individual of the same age. Withdrawal by an older adult is not a normal response to aging but may be a sign of depression.
