Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Recent demographic changes in rural areas have also included an influx of retirees and others from urban areas who are able to live in rural areas and conduct business through telecommunication and travel. The other responses do not support the current reason for the increase in the rural population.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A disability, resulting from an impairment, involves a restriction or inability to perform an activity in a normal manner or within the normal range. An anatomical, mental, or psychological loss or abnormality is an impairment. A handicap is a disadvantage resulting from an impairment or disability that prevents fulfillment of an expected role. In a comparison of these concepts, an impairment affects a human organ on a micro level; disability affects a person on an individual level; and a handicap involves society on a macro level of analysis.
