Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
One of the major problems in aging research are that the older people, although statistically ranging from 65 to 115 years old, are often grouped into a single category. Recognizing the need to tailor assessment to specific groups is insightful. While aging affects vision, hearing, and, in some incidences, cognition, such deficiencies should not be assumed. The older adult population is not likely to need more incentives to participate than any other age group.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Japan has the longest life expectancy at 82.6 years. Sweden has the second longest life ex-pectancy at 81.7 years. The average life expectancy in China and Ireland is lower than in ei-ther Japan or Sweden.
