Answer to Question 1

D
Anomia is the inability to recall a word. Waiting for the patient to remember the word or be able to substitute another is more supportive than supplying the word for him.

Answer to Question 2

A
Loss of neurons in the frontal and temporal lobes results in atrophy and the many signs of AD, memory deficits being one of the earliest.
