Answer to Question 1

A, C, D
The most common causes of death in the older population are cerebrovascular disease, heart conditions, and cancer. End-stage renal disease and diabetes are not among the top three causes of death.

Answer to Question 2

C
Immunosenescence is the term used in immunity theory to describe an age-related decrease in immune functioning. According to this theory, as people age, they are more prone to getting cancer or autoimmune diseases because of this phenomenon. This is a nonstochastic theory. Radical and error theories are both stochastic. The pacemaker theory looks at the interrelated role of the neurologic and endocrine systems and aging.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
