Answer to Question 1

B
The mere presence of other people, without significant personal exchange, does not prevent or alleviate loneliness.
Loneliness is evidence of the capacity to love. Hostile behavior can be a sign of loneliness. Pets can provide comfort, touch, affection, and an opportunity to care for another being.

Answer to Question 2

A
Older persons tend to spend less time asleep than younger persons, although they spend more time in bed. This statement is true because sleep takes longer to arrive and is more fragmented. Leg movements during sleep often tend to increase with age. REM sleep becomes more evenly distributed with age. Stage III sleep decreases with age and virtually disappears in older adults.

It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
