Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

Answer to Question 2

 Just as elderly women are socially disadvantaged in relation to elderly men, some categories of women face greater challenges than others.
 Intersection theory examines the interplay of various dimensions of inequality to show that some elderly women are further disadvantaged by race and ethnicity.
 The fact that there is no single older woman might well encourage us to investigate still other categories of the older population, including lesbians and people with disabilities.
