Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Retirement is facilitated by learning how to use, appreciate, and gain satisfaction from leisure time throughout an employed lifetime. Occupational achievement may actually hinder a successful retirement if the work role proves difficult to abandon or replace. Although the use of community health resources and freedom from family responsibilities can contribute to a healthful old age, they are not the major sources of satisfaction to be cultivated earlier in life.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Most widows adjust well. The friendships of the past between married couples become less important, and friendships with other widows develop. Most widows successfully live alone, and relatively few require treatment for depression.
