Answer to Question 1

B
Not all questions asked in interview situations are legal. Legally acceptable questions include your
reason for applying for the job, career goals, any problems you foresee, and your strengths and
weaknesses. Some illegal questions that may come up in interviews concern your citizenship, cultural
heritage, medical history, age, membership in social or political organizations, family characteristics,
gender preference, and sexual orientation.

Answer to Question 2

C
The most widely recognized entitlement for the elderly is Social Security benefits. Many seniors are
joining consumer groups to have a greater voice to influence health policy decisions and ensure that
they will receive the health care services they will need for years to come.
