Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Difficulty in eating is a problem with one of the basic activities of daily living (ADLs); the others are instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). The person would need thrice-daily help with eating meals. In comparison, it would be easier to obtain help with meal preparation, reading, or using a telephone.

Answer to Question 2

A
Congenital hearing loss is present from birth or early infancy. Anoxia or trauma during delivery may be causes.
