Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The transitional stage developmental task is the development of intimate relationships. The establishment phase of an expanding family includes building a mutually satisfying relationship; incorporating spouse/partner into relationships with extended family, and setting up a household and delineating household responsibilities for each partner.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The urinary bladder serves as a reservoir for urine. The ureter conducts urine from the kidneys. The kidneys extract wastes from the blood, balance body fluids, and form urine. The urethra conducts urine from the bladder to the outside of the body for elimination.
