Answer to Question 1

D
Exercise does result in reduced bone loss, and therefore increased bone integrity.
Exercise results in increased cardiac output.
Exercise results in increased gastric motility.
Exercise results in increased basal metabolic rate.

Answer to Question 2

B
Identity confusion can occur when people do not maintain a clear, consistent, and continuous consciousness of personal identity. A newly divorced woman would be trying to adapt to a new lifestyle of being single while handling parenting of twins as a single parent. This situation could lead to identity confusion. A college sophomore would have had at least 2 years to adjust to the new life setting, and a self-employed woman would likely be content with creating her own employment opportunity. There is no indication that the middle-aged man with stable employment should have identity confusion.
