Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Individuals of Asian descent are more comfortable with some distance between themselves and others. Direct eye contact may be considered impolite or aggressive within the Asian culture, and they may tend to avoid direct eye contact and avert their eyes while speaking with others.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Availability of an effective wastewater disposal system will promote the safety of the community. Physical activity, such as availability of a walking path, is essential for Maslow's physiologic needs. Availability of a senior citizens center represents a solution to feeling love and belonging for older adults. Self-esteem and pride is demonstrated by welcome signs and flowers at the edge of town.
