Answer to Question 1

Cerebral blood circulates more slowly.

Answer to Question 2

Answers will vary and should include an identified individual and characteristics that
demonstrate wisdom in the student's eyes. A comparison of characteristics of
wisdom outlined in the textbook should follow, including a broad, practical approach
to life, great insight into the complexities and uncertainties of human nature, and
looking to enduring truths rather than contemporary quick fixes for answers.
