Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Most men, women, and children of all ages, races, and ethnicities will experience disability at some time during their life. As a person ages, the likelihood of developing a disability increases. Disability is a condition (such as illness or injury) that damages or limits a person's physical or mental abilities.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The Person First Movement advocates for political correctness in defining persons with disabili-ties. In other words, refer to a woman who is blind rather than a blind woman or a person with diabetes rather than a diabetic.
